Join the Beat at MATI: The Ultimate Music Celebration!

For those unfamiliar, MATI stands for Music At The Intersection, affectionately pronounced as "MATTY". And guess what? It's not just any festival—it's been listed alongside Coachella and Bonnaroo in People Magazine as a TOP music festival in 2024!

MATI isn't just about music; it's a journey through St. Louis' rich musical, cultural, and artistic heritage. This civic-led effort, presented by the Kranzberg Arts Foundation and sponsored by the likes of Steward Family Foundation, St. Louis Arts, Ameren, World Wide Technology, and St. Louis City Soccer Club, promises an experience like no other.

Exciting news alert! Work and Leisure, along with other members of the Locust Business District, are proud to be part of an expansion of the festival. Picture this: a space that resembles the workings of South x Southwest, right here in St. Louis!

Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 12th, as members of the Locust Business District open their venues from 10 am until 10 pm. And guess where the ultimate stop is? You got it—Work & Leisure!

We're adopting a "House Party" theme, and you're invited to the ultimate Beats & Brunch with DJ Mauf spinning the hottest tunes and mouthwatering food from The Table STL. But wait, there's more! Come lunchtime, get ready to have your taste buds slapped silly by another local chef, while enjoying an exciting and informative panel of musical guests. From producers to artists, these panelists will spill the beans on the ins and outs, pros and cons of being in the music business.

After that, hang with the community during Happy Hour, where you'll savor delicious bites, crafted cocktails, and, of course, more music!
