In honor of 314 Day 2023, local illustrator Dan Zettwoch was commissioned to create original artwork that will appear on T-shirts, bags and other promotional material for this year’s celebration.

314 Day was created in 2006 by Terrell “Young Dip” Evans and Tatum Polk with the vision of bringing St. Louis together to celebrate the positive things happening in the city. Since then, it has grown into an official region-wide holiday every year.

St. Louisans Terrell Evans and Tatum Polk conceived of 314 Day in 2006.

St. Louisans are invited to join the fun and celebrate in their own way, with a list of events and special deals from local businesses on the full 314 Day event calendar. Those participating are also encouraged to share their experiences and love for St. Louis on social media using the hashtags #314Day #STLMade and #LoveLocalSTL.
