You're Invited to the Super Bowl Parade! | |
|
The Chief’s Super Bowl Parade is not an IF but a WHEN in our opinion, and City Market is a great destination for all your Parade Day needs!
The Parade is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 15 (with an inclement weather date of Thursday, Feb. 16, which will be announced well in advance if the weather forecast deems it necessary to postpone).
The route begins near City Market on Grand Avenue at 6th Street and ends at Union Station where fans can enjoy a rally and celebration. City Market will have public event parking available for $20, and your favorite City Market shops and restaurants will be ready for you with food, drink, and souvenirs to commemorate the championship season!
Need a place to warm up? We’ll have our Farmers Market pavilions (in the center of City Market) enclosed and heated after 7 a.m. so you can take the chill off. You can also charge your phone (with plug-in electrical outlets). We ask that you make room for others by limiting your stay to 30 minutes.

Crossland Market Brings Global Food to KC | |
|
Throughout Black History Month, we're highlighting City Market’s black-owned businesses and how they propel Kansas City forward.
This week, we're focusing on Crossland International Market . Founders Lena and Emanuel Baddoo opened their store at City Market in 2005 to offer easier access to foods from across the globe. Whether you’re a local looking to try something new or looking for food that reminds you of home, this multicultural market is the place to shop.
Specializing in imported goods from Africa, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, Crossland is a great place to find unique items like Jamaican jerk seasonings, cooking sauces, milled products, frozen fish and meats, fresh produce including yucca and plantains, imported tea cookies and biscuits, imported fabrics, and personal beauty products. Come in and browse; the friendly customer service is always top-notch, and Lena's smiles are free.
Supporting black business owners is a great way to uplift our community.
Here are other small, family-owned businesses you can support at City Market:
Africa2000, owned by Djibril “Capi” Ndiaye
Blue Nile Cafe, owned by Daniel & Selam Fikru
