Pirate invasion!

Grab yer mateys for public arrrt in St. Joseph

All ye landlubbers will fancy our crew o' sculpted scallywags as more than 25 painted pirates, treasure chests, dolphins, seahorses, sea turtles and pelicans invade downtown St. Joseph this summer in our 2012 Beached Pirates outdoor art exhibit.

So come ashore, me hearties, for shipshape art from some of our region’s most talented artists who spin the merry yarns of St. Joseph and Southwestern Michigan's people, places and events. Disembark on our warm beaches. Let loose the little ones to climb aboard the special pirate ship. Explore our museums. Quaff a beverage or grab some grub at a local eatery. Uncover treasures in our shops. Come smartly 'fore these bedecked buccaneers set sail!

Continue your voyages through Southwestern Michigan and discover other fun times. Find more great food and local wines. Go canoeing. Take in some arts and culture. Picnic in a park. It’s a jolly good time for all!
