314 Day in St. Louis: Celebrate at the Gateway Arch and Riverboats

The Gateway Arch and the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch stand as the definitive symbols of our city’s pride and identity. These landmarks have served as the backdrop for generations of St. Louis history, anchoring the riverfront and defining the skyline. This 314 Day, we invite the community to celebrate at the very heart of the city with a mix of history, unmatched views and local flavors that can only be found here.

Set sail with $3.14 St. Louis style specials 

The daily St. Louis Riverfront Cruise is back. Celebrate the city and set sail with $3.14 St. Louis style specials available on board the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch. These boat-only deals include Red Hot Riplets topped hot dogs, 16 ounce Budweiser drafts and 12 ounce Budweiser cans. This offer is available only on March 14 to honor our local traditions.

The best view in the Lou 

Nothing represents the spirit of St. Louis more than the Gateway Arch. This monument serves as a global icon of our city and a symbol of the American spirit. The Tram Ride to the Top of the Arch is a truly unique experience, transporting visitors 630 feet into the air to witness the most breathtaking views in our city. There is no better way to celebrate 314 Day than by standing at the highest point of our city’s identity and seeing the skyline from the observation date.

Honor our city’s historic roots 

A 314 Day celebration is not complete without reflecting on St. Louis civic history with a visit to the newly renovated Old Courthouse. This is the site where monumental legal precedents, like the Dred Scott and Virginia Minor cases, shaped our nation. Explore over 200 years of history right in the center of downtown. 

Whether you are a lifelong resident or a first time visitor, 314 Day in St. Louis is the perfect time to reconnect with the landmarks that define our home. From the historic riverfront to the heights of the Gateway Arch, these experiences offer a direct link to the stories and the skyline that make our city one of a kind. Plan your visit to join in this celebration and see why there is no place quite like St. Louis.
