The below-freezing temperatures are behind us for now, which means it’s the perfect time to hit the town. Find out what’s going on this weekend in this week’s See St. Joseph.
For its grand opening celebration, the Time Out Event Center is hosting a vendor and craft fair, complete with an after-party.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, come and welcome Time Out at its new event space with dozens of vendors, food and drinks.

Head down to 3414 S. 22nd St. on Saturday to join in on the fun.
The Dance Arts Center has been repping its seasonal ballet for months, and now the time has finally come to go down the rabbit hole.
Join Alice as she follows the white rabbit on an adventure featuring creatures in Wonderland. She has numerous encounters with a variety of characters including a Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts along with a tea party that’s out of this world.

For parents of those who may have extra energy and a sneaky side, the Vault Ninja Academy is offering a Super Hero Ninja Camp.

After the partying, dancing and ninja slicing, settle in for an afternoon of classical music in the Saint Joseph Symphony’s second mini-symphony.
Hear the Saint Joseph Symphony’s principal cellist, Eman Chalshotori, and piano accompanist, Melody Stroth, present an hour of exceptional music in the intimate and acoustically pleasing setting of Ashland United Methodist Church sanctuary.
