Register for Christmas on the Quad

11/08/2024

Embrace the wonder of the holiday season at Saint Louis University during Christmas on the Quad on Saturday, Dec. 7. 

One of SLU’s favorite traditions, Christmas on the Quad is open to all — alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, family and friends. Join Saint Louis University President Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., First Lady Fran Pestello, Ph.D., and Vice President for Mission and Identity Father David Suwalsky, S.J., for a special blessing and tree lighting ceremony on the quad, preceded by fun for all ages.

Event attendance is free, but registration by Dec. 5 is required.

Hosted by the Office of Alumni and Donor Engagement, Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow (STAT), and the Office of Parent and Family Engagement, this year’s Christmas on the Quad activities will begin at 4:30 p.m. 

Kick off the fun during check-in at Simon Recreation Center with a holiday movie. Then, find your way around West Pine Mall for visits with Santa, photo opportunities with the Billiken or time gathered around the fire pits.

Refreshments will be available for purchase at a holiday cheer garden and food trucks, including Go Gyro Go, Homestyle Grill, and TreauX's Cajun BBQ. Complimentary parking will be available in Laclede Garage.
