Mark your calendar! On the First Friday of every month, thousands of residents and visitors fill the Crossroads Arts District in Kansas City to enjoy what has become the City’s most dynamic and popular event: #firstfridayskc. The crossroads community comes alive as arts organizations, galleries, studios, and a wide variety of businesses in the district feature local, regional, national, and international artists.
Start your adventure in the hub of it all on 19th Street between Baltimore and Wyandotte with Art Garden KC & ZNTL’s Frequency Fridays street market and concert series!
Each night will feature a uniquely curated selection of Art Garden KC artist & maker booths, live music and performances hosted by ZNTL Entertainment + occasional live performance art hosted by Crossroads Arts District! Look for the canopies behind Town Topic and Arts KC or simply follow the music!
Creative wall murals line the Art Alleys between Baltimore and Wyandotte from 18th Street to Southwest Blvd which are filled with more Art Vendors and their individual artistic creations!
The Crossroads Arts District is best explored on foot once you arrive. We recommend making it an evening with dinner at one of the many fabulous restaurants or check out a local craft brewery!
