“I am so excited to be a part of such a great event, and a partner with a great team like Pride of the Fox. The Arcada Theatre prides itself in bringing the tops in entertainment to St. Charles, and The Arcada Live Main Stage will definitely be tops,” Onesti said.

The Main Stage will be on Plaza Green at 1st and Main streets.
