Boulevard Brewing Company and the Kansas City Current are bringing back Taps & Tastes, setting this year’s culinary celebration at the newly opened Current Landing along the Kansas City riverfront. Originally launched in 2015 as an anchor of the Boulevardia festival, Taps & Tastes was created to showcase Kansas City’s influence on the culinary world. Now evolving into a stand-alone experience, the event continues to celebrate the region’s growing food and beverage identity.

The reimagined festival highlights a curated lineup of premier craft breweries, distilleries, and top-tier chefs from across Kansas and Missouri. Attendees will get a premium, all-inclusive taste of the Midwest’s best flavors, accompanied by live music, interactive games and local activations right along the Missouri River waterfront.

At 5 p.m., the event will transition into a free, all-ages public watch party. Fans can gather around the big screen to cheer on the KC Current as they take on the Utah Royals FC in an exciting road match starting at 5:30 p.m.
