Briarfest VIII - Levee Days |
Coming to North Kansas City for the first time, will be the 8th year version of Briar Fest, a two-day music festival at Macken Park, happening on September 8th and 9th. Due to it being in levee-surrounded North Kansas City, it will also be called Levee Days. This is a joint venture between North Kansas City Parks & Recreation and the Briarcliff Business Partners Alliance. Music from 19 different bands will offer country, rock 'n roll, and current Top 40 music. Besides being a fun event, it will also be free to attendees. This event will run from 3:00pm that Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. Before opening it up to food truck operators, North Kansas City food & beverage businesses will have the first opportunity to participate if they wish, but the event organizers will need to know by sometime in March, so as soon as you can, please let them know. Here is a flyer for you to review, which defines various sponsorship opportunities for the event. A sponsorship is a great way for North Kansas City businesses to get some good visibility and help a good cause. The Business Council will be sponsoring a booth and will have a presence at the festival to answer any questions you may have about the North Kansas City Business Council as well as the many businesses in North Kansas City. If you have any other questions about this event, please feel free to contact Alexis Brown via email alexis@nkcbusinesscouncil.com and she will get you in touch with who you need!

Don't forget to Think NKC for Valentine's Day! North Kansas City has something for everyone no matter how you like to celebrate Valentine's Day, with that special someone or just treat yourself! Looking for something sparkly and shiny, think Meierotto's Jewelers or Helzberg Diamonds. Maybe a casual dinner at one of North Kansas City's many restaurants, followed by a movie at Screenland Armour Theatre and some wine before or after dinner at Sail Away Wine. Like to make everyone at the office smile? Get something sweet at Donut King or drop by DQ Grill & Chill for a frozen treat to share with everyone. Perhaps a "night in" with dinner and binging your favorite show is what makes you and your sweetie happy, pick-up something yummy at Scimeca's Deli, F325 BBQ, Chappell's Restaurant, or one of the many other NKC restaurants offering pick-up services. Looking for an evening of fun, food, adult beverages and entertainment, Harrah's is always a "safe bet" or Chicken N Pickle might be just what you're looking for! And, those are just a few of the many possibilities, so be sure to Think NKC for Valentine's Day!

The weather sure is being tricky this year and has us wanting to be as active as possible. Even though we might not be able to go outside and explore just yet, RoKC North Kansas City is the perfect place to stay adventurous AND warm. Literally, I'm breaking a sweat just thinking about all that climbing. Whether you're looking for something fun to do this Valentine's Day, or if you're looking to become a frequent climber, RoKC is the place to be. They also host private events such as birthday parties, group events, and even a 12-hour Lock-In. They are sure to keep you busy instead of going stir-crazy inside your house. |
