Mark your calendar! On the First Friday of every month (April-Oct), thousands of residents and visitors fill the Crossroads Arts District to enjoy what has become Kansas City’s most dynamic and popular event: #FirstFridaysKC.
The Crossroad's 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, and experience over 100 local art vendors, buskers, live music and more!
The Crossroads Arts District is best explored on foot once you arrive. We recommend making it a day of it with lunch or dinner at one of the many fabulous restaurants, free comedy shows at Bird Comedy Theatre or check out a local craft brewery!

There are many parking options in the Crossroads, but during First Friday, those who arrive a bit earlier have a better chance at finding on-street parking. There are a number of parking lot options around the community, or you could park nearby Union Station or City Market and take a FREE KC Streetcar ride into the midst of all the fun!
