Review:
Clayton is a lovely suburb of St. Louis, originally founded in 1877 and named in honor of land donor Ralph Clayton. The city is best known as the home of the annual Saint Louis Art Fair. More than 150,000 annual visitors attend the festival, which showcases a large number of artist vendors selling beautiful works across all mediums. Other special events throughout the year include the delicious Taste of Clayton food festival, the Big Read literary festival, the Parties in the Park cocktail gathering series, and the monthly Gallery Nights art walk reception series. St. Louis County government buildings dot the city's downtown district, along with a collection of delightful boutiques, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and nightlife destinations.
