Last Call Festival 2026

If you’re in St. Louis, Missouri, check out Last Call: An End-of-Life Festival on October 10, 2026. It’s a free event!

It’s a one-of-a-kind community experience designed to make conversations about death and dying more approachable, informed, and even a little life-affirming. This isn’t a somber event. Last Call is a thoughtfully curated space where curiosity is welcome, questions are encouraged, and connection is at the center of it all.

Throughout the day, you can explore a variety of short, engaging presentations led by local professionals, educators, and advocates. Topics may include advance care planning, end-of-life options, grief and legacy, and ways to support loved ones through difficult transitions. Whether you’re just beginning to think about these topics or looking to deepen your understanding, you’ll find something that meets you where you are.

In addition to presentations, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with a range of mission-aligned vendors and community resources. These are people and organizations doing meaningful work in end-of-life care, planning, and support—offering information, tools, and services in a way that feels approachable and never sales-driven.

You’ll also find interactive experiences woven throughout the Last Call festival. These might include reflection stations, conversation prompts, creative activities, or spaces to share your thoughts and stories. You can move at your own pace—pause where something resonates, skip what doesn’t, and engage in the way that feels right for you.

At its core, Last Call is about creating a culture where talking about death leads to more intentional living. Come on your own or with someone you love, stay for an hour or the whole time—there’s no right way to participate. Just come as you are. Register here.

The event takes place at the Eden Theological Seminary, 475 E Lockwood Ave, St. Louis, MO 63119, Webster Groves, MO 63119
