Calendar of FREE and CHEAP in St Louis

This is my favorite time of year for free activities. The Shakespeare Festival has started and you can find free music any night of the week. What are your favorite free activities to do in St Louis in the Summer?

If you know of any free or cheap activities, email me or leave a comment and I will include them on Calendar of FREE.

Edit: This Missouri History Museum contacted me to let me know they are not offering free admission to Vatican Spenders on Tuesdays. Generally, they are able to offer complimentary admission on Tuesdays to St. Louis City and St. Louis County residents. Unfortunately, their contract with the current exhibition, Vatican Splendors, does not allow them to do so. I apologize if anyone if my misinformation caused anyone a problem.
