FIRST FRIDAY WEEKEND – WEST BOTTOMS

Mid-20^th Century buildings tower overhead as shoppers hustle between vintage stores in search of their next great discovery. It’s First Friday Weekend in the West Bottoms, home to the largest vintage and antique market in the U.S., which means that many of the most prominent and popular antique dealers open their shops to reveal their thrifty picks to the masses.

While the Crossroads Arts District is well-known for its First Fridays events, the West Bottoms extends the monthly celebration through the end of the weekend, bringing food trucks, special happenings and more to the historic district. The region has a distinct flavor to it, a mixture of KC’s agricultural roots and a fresh, vibrant culture that mindfully pays homage to ages past. With the area more bustling than in recent memory, you can spend your whole weekend there and still find more to do next time you visit.

There’s always something to see or do in Kansas City – the city we love –  we would like to use our Events page to show some love and highlight some of those Local Happenings. Get out there and check out a show, see an exhibit or catch a game. These are the events that we’ll be attending and hope to see you there!
