Celebrations Planned for 314 Day to Commemorate Success of #STLMade Movement

March 14 officially marks the one year anniversary of the debut of STLMade, a movement that spotlights innovative and exciting things that people across the region are doing every day to improve and grow our community.

To mark the occasion, #STLMade invites the entire community to celebrate 314 Day at a variety of truly #STLMade events and businesses throughout the St. Louis area. The excitement kicks off at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 12, at Venture Cafe at  Cortex Innovation Community-St. Louis, with a panel discussion featuring local business and community leaders, moderated by Maggie Crane, communications director for BioSTL. Panel members will share and discuss how they fit into the STLMade movement and how the community can continue to work together to develop St. Louis as an economically viable, interesting, equitable and livable region. The event is free and open to the public.

Then, on Saturday, March 14, a number of local events will celebrate the #STLMade movement, including the St. Patrick’s Day Run in downtown St. Louis, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cottleville and the 5K Pup Run in Forest Park. In addition, a number of local restaurants, breweries and businesses across the St. Louis region will offer special 314 Day discounts and products in their locations. A full list of participating businesses and offers can be found at thestl.com/314day.

The entire community is invited to show its St. Louis pride by visiting these businesses and sharing the experiences on social media using the hashtags #314Day and #STLMade.

Since its launch, #STLMade has attracted nearly 30,000 social media followers, and has significantly impacted awareness among residents of the St. Louis region.
