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 & The Crossroads Community Association!
Love to shop local? Discover a unique selection of OVER 100 artists & makers in Crossroads ICONIC Art Alleys + live music and performances on the Art Garden KC stage hosted by DJ Eddie Bohannan of KKFI’s Energy & Jams Show. Look for the canopies behind Town Topic and Arts KC or simply follow the music!
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!
