One of the Missouri History Museum’s most popular events, Twilight Tuesdays, is now Twilight Thursdays.

Beginning in September, the free outdoor concert series, held on the grounds of the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, will make a switch to Thursday evenings.

This fall’s lineup salutes musical legends with St. Louis roots, including tributes to new Rock & Rock Hall-of-Famer Tina Turner, the Isley Brothers, The Temptations’ Dennis Edwards and Chuck Berry.

Concerts are from 6 to 8 p.m., and will take place at the Missouri History Museum Thursday nights on Sept. 9, 16, 23 and 30.
