The 25th Anniversary of Dance in the Park is Saturday, September 7, 2024

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Dance in the Park at beautiful Roanoke Park! Founded by Midtown neighbors to promote free programs in the arts, the event has evolved to provide a professional stage showcasing Kansas City’s rich talent and creativity for residents and visitors alike. Join us on Saturday, September 7th at 5:30 pm for a Warm-Up Fair with local booths, kid-friendly activities, and yard games. Youth dance performances start at 6 pm, followed by a free audience dance class at 6:30 pm. The main event, Dance in the Park professional concert, kicks off at 7:00 pm featuring a variety of styles including Modern, Mexican, and K-pop. Arrive early to snag a seat under the stars! Bring blankets, lawn chairs, a picnic, and your entire family (please note: no pets allowed).

Location: Roanoke Park, 3600 Roanoke Road, Kansas City, MO 64111. The stage will be set up in the north corner of the park where Karnes Blvd and Roanoke Road intersect.
