Zo's Mini Donuts and the Sunset Coast Country Dancers Team Up for a Beach Town Hoedown on July 24th and July 31st in Downtown St. Joseph
ST. JOSEPH, Mich. — In a region known for its beaches and small businesses, two local ventures are proving that entrepreneurship can do more than turn a profit — it can build community. Zo's Mini Donuts, founded by teenage entrepreneur Zoey Heyn, has partnered with the Sunset Coast Country Dancers to host Donuts X Dancing, a free, all-ages Friday night gathering on the bluff in downtown St. Joseph, with upcoming dates on July 24th and July 31st.
What started as a young founder's idea to sell donuts from a pink trailer has grown into a recurring hometown event that pulls hundreds of neighbors, families, and visitors onto the lawn overlooking Lake Michigan for line dancing, fresh donuts, and a sunset that never disappoints.
Hot and fresh donuts will be served from 7–10 PM, with free, beginner-friendly line dancing lessons from the Sunset Coast Country Dancers starting at 8 PM. Guests can grab a drink beforehand at Schu's Grill & Bar in the St. Joseph Social District (Till 9 PM), then head to the bluff for sunset views and yard games.No dance or donut experience required — just a willingness to show up and have fun. Admission is free and open to everyone.
"These are our favorite nights of the year!" said Zoey Heyn, founder of Zo's Mini Donuts. "We just love seeing the community come together and have a great time."
