Music is good for the soul. It helps people express themselves, heals hearts, inspires change, and, most importantly, it brings people together. That’s exactly what Imagine 11 hopes to do—unite St. Joseph around one simple word: music. Imagine 11 is a community event that hosts live music concerts every week throughout the summer. With performances held at Coleman Hawkins Park at 7th and Felix in downtown St. Joseph, it’s an event designed to connect the hearts of locals and visitors alike through the power of live music.
Each Imagine 11 concert features performances by musicians from St. Joseph and the surrounding areas, giving artists a platform to showcase their skills and share their love of music with the community. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming. All concerts are free to attend, making it easy for everyone to join in the fun. Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets, and kids are free to run and play while adults sit back and enjoy the show.
Every concert brings a different experience, with genres ranging from rock and blues to country, jazz and everything in between. The full summer lineup can be found on the Imagine 11 website, so you can plan your Sunday nights accordingly. Local food trucks and vendors often join the festivities, offering delicious food and refreshing drinks to enjoy while you take in the music. It’s more than just a concert—it’s a gift to the community made possible by generous sponsors and dedicated organizers. It’s something special when a city can come together to provide free entertainment and create unforgettable moments for everyone to enjoy.
So, grab your lawn chair or blanket, bring your appetite and come ready to listen! Imagine 11 happens every Sunday from now through August 10, from 6–8 p.m. at Coleman Hawkins Park. Come hang out with friends, soak up the summer evenings and celebrate the magic of music right here in St. Joseph.
