School is out, the days are longer and the heat is on. This week’s edition of See St. Joseph is packed with plenty of summer fun to keep the whole family entertained.
The St. Joseph Mustangs are officially back at it, and they’re welcoming the boys back with a St. Joseph staple.
Friday is St. Joe Tenderloin Night at Phil Welch Stadium. St. Joseph is known as the “Tenderloin Capital of the World,” so experience it for yourself with a Mustangs baseball game, tenderloins from Triumph Foods and an exclusive jersey auction. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with the first pitch at 7 p.m.
Get ready to raise your glasses for the triumphant return of the Ales West Beer Festival.

The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is hosting its third annual Art Fair and promises to be a blast for the whole family.
The fair will take place outdoors on the museum grounds and gardens. It includes local fine art booths, face painting, balloon making, musical performances as well as refreshments for all ages. During the fair, feel free to explore the museum and see the fine art local and national artists have to offer. This free event goes from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at the museum.
Each summer, the Imagine Eleven concert series presents eleven Sunday evenings of live music for free for St. Joseph residents to enjoy.
These performances provide top-rated music to build up our community and raise support for local non-profits. Local and regional musicians and bands inspire St. Joseph to care, encourage and support one another. Fans of ‘80s rock can rejoice because this week features the band “Revelation: A tribute to Journey.” The show begins 6 p.m. Sunday at Coleman Hawkins park.
