MATI returns with five main stages, including The Fabulous Fox Theatre, The Sovereign, The Big Top, Jazz St. Louis, and Sophie’s Artist Lounge. MATI is taking full advantage of Grand Center Arts District’s world-class music and art infrastructure to deliver a fully walkable indoor-outdoor summer festival experience.
MATI’s weekend GA pass, starting at just $99, includes select orchestra or balcony seating at The Fabulous Fox on Sunday, July 19 for festival headliner performances.
With a continued focus on accessibility and inclusivity, MATI’s outdoor community block party - connecting its five main stages down Washington Avenue - will be free and bigger than ever in 2026. MATI is activating Grand Center Arts District with live music (including national DJs), a performance art stage, a roller skating rink, carnival rides, pop-up fashion shows, mural and art exhibits, the blooming business market, tastes of St. Louis’ favorite culinary dishes and incentives to visit Midtown’s many bars, restaurants and retailers.
Additionally, MATI Places, which include The Key, Urban Chestnut and High Low, will feature performances, clinics and workshops throughout the weekend. MATI’s annual thought leadership conference returns to .ZACK, providing panels, keynote discussions and networking opportunities targeted at artists, creatives and entrepreneurs. The conference and MATI Places are also free.
