Jim Crusoe, 39, proudly waves an American flag during Celebrate St. Louis festivities on the Gateway Arch grounds on Friday, July 4, 2025. Since 1981, Celebrate Saint Louis (for- merly Fair Saint Louis) has marked Independence Day with live music, fire- works, and other entertainment. A Superman-themed drone show lit up the sky the night of the 4th. It was designed in partnership with Warner Brothers to celebrate the July 11 release of “Superman” from St. Louis-born director James Gunn. Photo by Wiley Price | The St. Louis American.

This week’s photo gallery captures patriotism and pride at Celebrate St. Louis, where fireworks and a Superman-themed drone show lit up the sky. We spotlight Ms. Missouri Senior America contestants, including our own Ruth Lee, honored by Councilwomen Rita Days and Shalonda Webb. Guatemalan soccer fans brought passion and color to Enterprise Park despite their team’s narrow loss to the U.S. And we go behind the scenes of the Saint Louis Zoo’s ‘Romeo and Zooliet’, where Ricki Franklin brings Juliet to life in a wild twist on Shakespeare’s classic.
