GroveFest 2025 | Art, Community, Joy

As an anthropology major turned event photographer in St. Louis, I’ve learned that every gathering tells a story about people, culture, and connection. Nowhere is this truer than GroveFest, where a neighborhood comes alive to celebrate itself to the fullest.

Walking through the festival, camera in hand, I watch traditions, personalities, and community spirit unfold in real time. Every laugh, every colorful outfit, every street performance is a small window into what makes this neighborhood unique. Capturing GroveFest isn’t just about photos—it’s about documenting the human energy, pride, and joy that turn a local block into a living celebration of community.
