Mark your calendar! On the First Friday of every month, thousands of residents and visitors fill the Crossroads Arts District in Kansas City to enjoy what has become the City’s most dynamic and popular event: #FirstFridaysKC. The crossroads 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! Featuring a beautifully curated selection of Art Garden KC artist & maker booths, live music hosted by ZNTL Entertainment, and live performance art hosted by Crossroads Arts District! Look for the canopies behind Town Topic and Arts KC or simply follow the music!
Also check out the Art Alleys between Baltimore and Wyandotte from 18th Street to Southwest Blvd which are filled with more Art Vendors and their individual artistic creations, hosted by Crossroads Art District!
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 at nearby Union Station and either walk or take a short KC Streetcar ride into the midst of all the fun!
