Welcome to Celebrate St. James
Celebrate St. James was founded in 2017 by visionaries Jack Ader, Arline Goldstein, and Natalie Weinstein with one mission in mind: to breathe new life into the historic Lake Avenue District and honor the vibrant spirit of the St. James community. What began as a grassroots cultural movement has blossomed into a thriving nonprofit that celebrates the town’s rich past while inspiring a bold, creative future.
From producing original musicals and hosting art exhibitions to family festivals, children’s programming, and storytelling events, Celebrate St. James has become the beating heart of local arts and culture. A proud partner in the creation of Celebrate Park—made possible through community-driven fundraising and collaboration with local government—the organization continues to bring neighbors together in joyful and meaningful ways.
