As the weekend draws near, what is there to do in Florissant or nearby?

We’ve got the perfect solution for you--lots.

1. What do you get when you combine water and a movie? The Flick and Float, which is also known as the “dive-in” movie will take place Friday at Koch Family Aquatic Center.

2. For a good time and some fun tunes, Smash Band will liven up St. Ferdinand Park Saturday for Florissant’s Music Under the Stars series. The band bills itself as “playing music for party people.” The concert begins at 7 p.m.
3. The circus has come to town, and it has a lot of soul. The Universoul Circus will be hosting a number of shows throughout the weekend in North St. Louis County at Jamestown Mall.
