It’s starting to look like spring, which means it’s almost Parties on the Parkway time!
The annual summer concert series dates, bands and times are featured below. Thousands of residents come out each year during the course of the series to locations along St. Joseph’s parkway system to soak up some sunshine, enjoy food and drinks and listen to some great live music.
The events are the second Thursday of the month, and residents are encouraged to come out after work with friends, colleagues and family. Pets are also welcome! Admission is FREE so there’s no reason not to join the fun. Please note: some food and beverage vendors are cash only. The series is hosted by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce and the City of St. Joseph. Its presenting sponsor is Nodaway Valley Bank. Entertainment sponsor is Altec Industries Inc. Watch for a prize patrol this year, sponsored by United Fiber.
