Join your friends and neighbors in a celebration of St. Joseph. It has been a long hard year but come August the community will gather to celebrate the best of St. Joseph. The Allied Arts Council and the City of St. Joseph invite you to St. Joseph 2021: from steam to S.T.E.A.M., St. Joseph’s commemoration of Missouri’s Bicentennial, and celebration of St. Joseph highlighting our journey from frontier town to a City of Innovation. This free event scheduled for August 20 & 21, 2021 explores all that is wonderful about St. Joseph- past- present- future.

Chautauqua Tent
“Chautauqua” is an Iroquois word with a few meanings— “a bag tied in the middle” or “two moccasins tied together,” and describes the shape of Chautauqua Lake, located in southwest New York. This area was the setting for the first educational assembly (Chautauqua Institution) and so provided the name of the movement.
Today, Chautauqua is experiencing a renaissance. People are discovering that lifelong learning is one of the keys to living a happy, fulfilling life.
