The official start of summer is just around the corner, and just like the weather, the St. Louis event calendar is heating up.

American rock band The Neighbourhood kick off the month of June at The Pageant on June 1. The next week, stand-up comedian Sarah Silverman will bring the laughs to The Pageant on June 6.

Downtown St. Louis is home to a few popular festivals this June. First, the annual St. Louis Uncorked festival returns to downtown on June 3 and June 4 at Tucker and Market Streets. The festival will feature several national recording artists, including Rachel Platten, Nick Fradiani, Ingrid Michaelson and We the Kings, as well as dozens of wines, spirits and local food selections. The next weekend (June 11), the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival will feature more than 100 styles of beer from over 40 St. Louis-based breweries, as well as exclusive brewery collaborations and home brew club tastings, live music and food, all beneath the Gateway Arch.

Folk rock band The Lumineers will bring their Cleopatra World Tour to the Peabody Opera House on June 12.

Last, but certainly not least, Selena Gomez will bring her Revival Tour to the Scottrade Center on June 26 with special guest DNCE and BAHARI. The Revival Tour follows the October 9 release of her new album, “Revival.”

Avoid construction, traffic jams and the hassles of finding (and paying for) parking by taking Metro. Leave your vehicle at any one of 21 free Metro Park-Ride lots in Missouri and Illinois and take MetroLink to the Civic Center MetroLink Station (just steps from the Peabody Opera House and Scottrade Center) or the Delmar Loop MetroLink Station (near The Pageant).

You can also hop on MetroBus to get downtown or to the Delmar Loop. Ride on one of 18 MetroBus routes to the Union Station MetroLink Station, located just west of the Scottrade Center and the Peabody Opera House, or travel to the Delmar Loop MetroLink Station on any of five MetroBus routes.
