Where do you go before and after all those events?
Great food is part of Kansas City culture and our rich tradition of unbeatable barbecue is part of our town’s reputation. But that grew out of a bigger Kansas City trend – creative chefs and cooks working to create unique flavors to define their own place in the food world. Try Kansas City’s James Beard places of note, local brewers and distilleries, and all the local Diners, Drive-in’s and Dives. Indulge in a farm-to-table feast rich with Midwestern fresh tastes.
Food so good you may want to take it all home – with a trip to a farmer’s market and a culinary class! Eat. Enjoy.

Going to
Kansas City?
Kansas City’s arts scene spans the metro, from the Crossroads Arts District’s concentrated gallery scene to performance venues, museums, and cultural landmarks throughout the region. Most areas require a car to get between them, but once you arrive, it’s easy to explore on foot.
All of our arts organizations are very welcoming and accessible. There are many events and experiences that are free or low-cost.
While KC is most known for its jazz legacy, vibrant murals, and First Fridays (one of the country’s largest monthly art walks), there is much to explore.
If you’re visiting for a specific event or spending a weekend exploring, Kansas City’s creative community makes it easy to dive in. A little planning goes a long way!
Here is what to know before you go.
Know before you go
The free KC Streetcar runs 5.7 miles from River Market to UMKC, connecting downtown, the Crossroads, Westport, the Plaza, and must-see museums like the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper along the way. Ride shares are also widely available, and most venues have nearby parking.
