See St. Joseph: fun in the sun
After a week of rainy weather, St. Joseph residents may be eager to get out and enjoy the sun. Luckily, News-Press NOW's Kendra Simpson found several outdoor activities to keep everyone entertained in this week's edition of See St. Joseph.
To start the weekend, St. Joseph residents can grab their shiniest armor, pointiest elf ears and most magical wings with the return of the Bluffwoods Renaissance Festival.
Leave the 21st century behind and travel back in time to the Renaissance. The war between the two kings has erupted, and everyone must choose their alliance: the noble King Aiden or the bold tyrant King Von Jon. Expect to see sword fights, hear tales of daring and eat as many turkey legs as possible, all while the fate of the realm hangs in the balance. Come for the shows, stay for the questionable fashion choices and leave with memories that'll last until the next quest for mead! The Bluffwoods Renaissance Festival goes from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Castle Bridge event center. To purchase tickets, visit the event's website at bluffwoodsrenfest.com.
This weekend, we will celebrate Cancer Survivor Day, a national holiday celebrating the lives and efforts of those who are living with or have beaten cancer. Mosaic will mark the occasion with its Cancer Survivor Day 5K run and walk.
Enjoy an afternoon of music, fellowship and the 5K, where every step honors survivors. After the race, light up the night at a special glow stick party. Come be a part of an inspiring evening of community, hope and even a cookout. The afternoon activities begin at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, at the Mosaic Cancer Care center located at 902 N Riverside Road. To register for the race, visit runsignup.com.
What better way to end the weekend than with the return of the classic Imagine Eleven concert series? And we’re gonna be kicking it off with St. Joseph’s own Swift Kik.
Food from local vendors, time with friends and family and of course a free musical performance – what could be better? Imagine Eleven is making its return this Sunday with Swift Kik. The group has been performing together for over 45 years, playing the best in classic rock. Attendees will hear hits from AC/DC, Journey, Bon Jovi and more. Attendees should bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. The free concert begins at 6 p.m. Sunday in Coleman Hawkins Park.
Tune in to News-Press NOW every Thursday for more See St. Joseph.
