Kansas City Events

Kansas City events bring nonstop energy, from jazz-filled streets to BBQ-fueled weekends.

There’s always something happening—no matter when you visit.

Let us help you plan your trip around KC’s best cultural moments.

Year-Round Action

Spring kicks off with blooming gardens and outdoor concerts.

Summer turns up the heat with block parties, fireworks, and food truck fests.

Fall is packed with art fairs, Oktoberfest fun, and tailgates galore.

Even winter brings sparkle with festive lights, markets, and cozy performances.

From the Plaza Art Fair to the American Royal, there’s a signature event for every season.

And if you’re visiting during a big game, expect the whole city to show up in spirit.

Local Picks with Big Personality

Our Kansas City event guides highlight what’s worth your time—like family festivals, free concerts, and cultural parades.

You’ll also find niche events that surprise and delight: think craft beer fests, chalk art shows, and vintage markets.

Love live music? Don’t miss First Fridays in the Crossroads, with DJs, food trucks, and gallery walks.

Into sports? The city rallies hard around its teams—with pregame parties that are practically events themselves.

Planning Made Simple

We don’t just tell you what’s happening—we show you how to do it right.

Our guides include parking tips, crowd hacks, and bonus stops nearby.

Want to pair an event with dinner, drinks, or dessert? We’ve got that mapped out.
