Wowsers! This list definitely hits everything. I wish I lived closer to KS but I know we have a lot of similar activities/events in the DC area. I’m working on locking in some days for us to go to different events.
I have family that live in the DC area. I know you’ll have great events!! – LW
Wow! I didn’t know there were so many fashion events in one city. I will have to look into these and see if one day I can make it to one. Thank you for the list.
Holly,
Yes!!! Make a list and even if you attend a few you will have a great time.

I think I gained 30 pounds just reading that list! Whoa. So can you do one for DC to? 🙂
Julian,
Trust me!! I’ve gain 30 pounds already. I’ve headed to the treadmill to loose some of these pounds. If I were familiar with DC, I would create a list for you.
so now I have to add Kansas City to my list of places to visit and it must be In the summer so I can catch any of these events that are annual. Wow, I had no idea I could enjoy all this in KC.
MJ,
Kansas City is awesome!! We were recently named by Huffington Post as one of the most unrated cities for food. We have a lot of wonderful eateries and restaurants. – Stop by
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I think it’s awesome that Missouri has so many exciting events! Argentina was my favorite country to experience, and I’m curious about that Argentine taco event in particular. Can’t say I’ve had many tacos there haha.
Wow! This is an Amazing round-up of events for KC. I had no idea there was so much going on. Wish I could make it for the jazz and food festivals.
What a great list! I’d love to make it to KS someday – looks like they’ve got some great eats.
