See St. Joseph: magic right at home

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- This weekend, St. Joseph has events for everyone looking for the magical and mystical in their hometown. News-Press NOW's Kendra Simpson found the weekend's top entertainment in this week's edition of See St. Joseph.
St. Joseph has been quite the up-and-comer when it comes to filming. What better way to encourage that cinephile spirit than to attend the 10th annual Griffon Film Festival?
The festival will showcase Film and Communication students' creations that they've worked on all semester. News segments, documentaries, digital animation and more await to entertain and inform the St. Joseph community. It will be a celebration of creativity, storytelling and cinematic artistry. The free-to-attend festival will be a two-night event from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday night at the Trail Theatre, located at 111 N. 9th. Street.
Lovers of the metaphysical and mystical are gathering at Stoney Creek Hotel this weekend for the Omnia LLC Spirit Fair.
Join in on the mystical weekend of insight and inspiration. Guests can immerse themselves in two days of wellness, spiritual discovery and transformative experiences. There's going to be everything a metaphysical enthusiast could hope for, including vendors, practitioners, workshops, healers and readers. The Spirit Fair goes from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Stoney Creek Hotel. Daily admission is $6 at the door, with kids 10 and under free.
What better way to end the weekend than with a fire show? It's time for the return of Pyro Flow Fire and Flow Jam.
Pyro Flow is hosting their April performance to create a space for building community, making connections and, of course, showing off some crazy fire skills. Every Flow Jam is different with a variety of performers of all ages and abilities, and they're always looking for more artists to join in on the fun. This is a family-friendly event that's free to the community. Grab a blanket or a chair, friends and family and watch sparks fly. The show begins 8 p.m. Saturday in Civic Center Park.
