Reach a new & diverse audience! Join us in beautiful Berkley Riverfront Park for our largest weekly arts & music festival ♥
Nestled between the new KC Current stadium, Origin Hotel and the upcoming 2 Birds 1 Stone beer garden, our little hippie festival by the river is quickly growing with over 1500 visitors every Sunday!
Why is this event important to the KC community? Art Garden KC's Berkley Riverfront Festival functions as a low risk/low barrier entrepreneurial "test kitchen", supporting over 60 diverse artists, makers, and innovators EVERY Sunday...many from minority communities and low-income ZIP codes. Our booth fees for artists at Berkley are just $10 - ensuring that all creatives, no matter their financial situation, can participate! For new and emerging artists, we even provide FREE canopies and equipment to those in need. Putting yourself out there and sharing your talents can be scary, therefore we make every effort to encourage a supportive, non-competitive environment. At Berkley, creative entrepreneurs can expand their business budget, gain sales/marketing experience, develop their product display and eventually graduate to our curated markets in higher-traffic venues!
Throughout the season, we also partner with fellow organizations to host entrepreneurial education classes for youth and small businesses. Beyond vendor impact, Berkley Riverfront Festival also provides a consistent space for KC families and individuals to play, create, heal and escape the craziness of everyday life together ♥
In 2023, Art Garden KC provided a $1.4 Million economic impact to the creative small business community and $10,700 in support to local musicians! All of this made possible by our sponsors like Port KC, Illicit Gardens, From The Earth and organizations like YOU!
Help us make a larger impact this year, while we continue providing this unique opportunity and experience to KC!
The easiest way to support Art Garden KC is to signup for a Commercial/Non-Profit Sponsor booth for one OR multiple dates throughout our season. If you would like to discuss how your business or organization can partner with us and have a larger impact/presence at our events, please email us hello@artgardenkc.org ♥
