WEC Closes at the Garden of All Gardens
St. Louis says Zài Jiàn (goodbye) in grand style as the 79-acre Missouri Botanical Garden serves as an unforgettable setting for MPI WEC’s closing event. Staged around the Garden’s Chinese Lantern Festival, the final event will be themed to stimulate the senses from sight, scent, sound and taste.
This special evening for attendees features monumental, illuminated structures strategically placed around the lush acreage - taking WEC attendees on a cross-cultural journey. Large-scale lantern festivals recently have been staged across Asia, Europe and Canada but never in America … until now! Main stage entertainment will perform in the Garden’s outdoor amphitheater and the party will keep going in the Lily Pond corridor at the Spink Pavilion stage. Enjoy culinary specialties from around the Missouri region and beyond at the food and beverage stations located throughout the venue. Guests will also have a chance to Visit Missouri at the vendor marketplace designed to showcase the many regions that make up the “Show Me State.”
