A Step Back in Time, A Tribute to Lucy Wortham James

Last year's Festival provided the opportunity for the community to commemorate and honor Lucy Wortham James and the Maramec Iron Works community. St. James has been very blessed by the many programs, facilities, and funds Lucy has provided, especially for someone that only lived in Missouri until she was 14.

Since 1934 . . .
Rooted in Tradition; Aged to Perfection

The first Grape & Fall Festival was held by the Chamber of Commerce in 1934 at the request of George Laun. It is a tradition rooted in the local history of Rosati's Italian settlers. Over the years the festival has seen many changes. This year's theme celebrated our history with the 150 Anniversary of Phelps County.
