Entrenched deep within the very beginnings of aviation,
St. Louis Lambert International Airport is widely considered to be one of the most historic airports in the United States. Named for Albert Bond Lambert, who learned to fly with the Wright Brothers, St. Louis Lambert International Airport was essential in bringing together the United States and beyond through modern air travel.
Today, as we approach our 100th anniversary, we continue to fulfill the vision of Albert Bond Lambert, meeting the challenges of modern air travel and the aviation industry for an always-changing world.
Art Of Travel Gala
2026 Art of Travel: the Encore
Art of Travel is St. Louis Lambert International Airport’s signature gala — an evening dedicated to celebrating art, culture, and community. Each year, the event honors the role of creative expression in shaping the STL experience and supports the exhibitions that welcome millions of travelers to our region.
This year, the lights are coming up, the amps are turning on, and for one unforgettable night, Concourse B is taking center stage again. The Art of Travel Gala: The Encore – Back to B returns with an evening where art, music, style, and the unexpected all come together inside STL.
One ticket, all access: food, drinks, art, and entertainment that’ll bring the
house down. This is much more than a night out! It’s your backstage pass to celebrate creativity, support the Lambert Art & Culture Program, and be part of the next unforgettable chapter of this long-standing tradition.
Join us October 15, 2026, from 6–9 p.m. in the Aero Event Space for a night of vintage-inspired fare, craft cocktails, live music, and more — all in support of the Lambert Art & Culture Program.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities available on our event page.
