Once the storms passed, Bourbon & Bonfires went on as planned. It was a blustery but still festive autumn evening at the World’s Fair Pavilion with Forest Park Forever and the Leffingwell Society!

Guests celebrated Forest Park’s 150th anniversary and Forest Park Forever's 40th and honored Larry Thomas with the 2026 Leffingwell Award. They also sampled bourbons and specialty drinks, cozied up to bonfires, mixed and mingled among Forest Park friends and enjoyed seasonal small bites and live music from the Charles Glenn Group.

Thank you to our sponsor!

We’d like to thank our generous partners at the Centene Foundation for helping us celebrate fall and our Leffingwell Society members in Forest Park.
