See St. Joseph: festivals, fairs and performances
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Whether looking for a performance, a fine art experience or to grab a few beers with friends, St. Joseph has it all at home. News-Press NOW's Kendra Simpson planned out everyone's weekend activities in this week's edition of See St. Joseph.
Kicking off the weekend with plies, grapevines, step ball changes and a tap dance or two with the Dance Arts Center 40 and Fabulous recital.
For four decades, the dance arts center has taught thousands of students the art and joy of dancing. The weekend of dance begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday with the senior showcase, DAC-PAC competition revue, VIP dance and adult tap performances. The performances will continue starting at 10 a.m. Saturday with beginners and dancers at levels four to seven. There will be performances at 10 a.m., 2 and 6 p.m. on Saturday. To purchase tickets to any of the performances, visit the group's website at thedanceartscenter.com.
Dozens of breweries, hundreds of different beers, multiple food trucks and good times with friends and family. St. Joseph residents can only find all of this at one place: Ales West 2025.
The 7th annual Ales West promises to be bigger than ever, making it one of the largest beer festivals in the Midwest. Not only do you get to enjoy great beer and delicious food from vendors, but all profits made through the festival support local charities that benefit the St. Joseph community. General admission opens at noon on Saturday in Coleman Hawkins Park. To purchase general or VIP tickets, visit eventbrite.com.
We’ve had a performance, we’ve had a festival, so let’s wrap up the weekend with a fair. The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is hosting its annual Art Fair.
Whether you’re an art lover, collector or just looking for a fun day out, the Art Fair is the perfect way to connect with local talent and enjoy the vibrant arts scene of northwest Missouri. Here, visitors will have the opportunity to view original artwork from regional artists, watch live musical performances, eat delicious food and enjoy interactive crafts for all ages. This celebration of creativity goes from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art.
