First Friday Weekends in West Bottoms

May 15 - May 15

Industrial history meets vintage discovery in the West Bottoms, one of Kansas City’s most character-filled neighborhoods. Known for its sprawling antique warehouses, local makers, and hidden gems, the district invites slow afternoons spent wandering through curated vintage shops, unexpected finds, and beautifully worn-in spaces.

What began as a destination for its beloved First Weekend events has evolved into an all-day neighborhood experience, with cocktail bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and live music woven throughout its historic streets.

Whether you’re hunting for one-of-a-kind pieces, exploring the district’s architectural past, or settling in for drinks after a day of shopping, the West Bottoms offers a side of Kansas City that feels both timeless and creatively alive, all just a short drive from Crossroads Hotel.
