Quest St. Louis: Cherry Blossoms at the Japanese Festival

Tickets are live! Purchase yours while supplies last: https://secure.touchnet.net:443/C20067_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=6411&SINGLESTORE=true

Exploring and enjoying the culture of St. Louis has never been safer, easier, or more affordable! Quest St. Louis field trips are low-cost guided group excursions which use St. Louis Metro transit trains and busses to enjoy the city on a budget. Directions and travel itineraries are available printed during each trip and our Quest Leaders will take you through each step of the travel process.

Join the Office of Student Involvement - Community and Belonging in partnership with UMSL Global as we journey to the Japanese Festival at the Botanical Gardens! Enjoy live Japanese performance, taste mouthwatering street food, and make a memory under the cherry blossom trees. Bring your Metro Pass or buy a one-day Adventure Pass the day-of and get ready for a memorable ride with this new UMSL tradition.

COST: Our LIMITED QUANTITY discounted tickets to the Japanese Festival are only $8 (originally $18 for the general public) and will go on sale on Saturday, August 23rd, at the Welcome Bash. Additional remaining tickets may be purchased in the Office of Student Involvement (MSC 366). Tickets are limited to one-per enrolled UMSL student.

You do NOT need a discounted $8 ticket to attend our group field trip. However, students without discounted tickets will be expect to purchase their own tickets for the general admission price of $18 to enter the Botanical Gardens. ALL RIDERS will need either a MetroPass (available for $25 at Student Financial Services in MSC 3rd Floor) or a One-Day Adventure Pass. Food, drinks, and gifts will be available on the festival grounds for an optional additional cost (tip: expect to pay ~$20 per person per lunch).

We ask riders arrive at the UMSL South Metro Stop at 9:00am for an estimated 9:30am departure. We expect to arrive at the festival at 11am and plan to depart at 3:30pm to return to UMSL by 5:00pm.

PLEASE NOTE: RSVP-ing to this event on TritonConnect does NOT guarantee you a discounted price ticket. You MUST individually purchase a discounted price ticket through OSI. RSVP-ing to this event is relevant for early headcount and attendance tracking purposes; it is not a reservation for a ticket.
