CROSSROADS ARTS DISTRICT NIGHT MARKET

WHERE THE WORLD MEETS THE CROSSROADS

The Crossroads Arts District invites visitors to enjoy local art, music, and festivities on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from June 12 to July 12.

From west to east on 18th Street, this neighborhood-wide festival is designed to welcome regional and international visitors during the 2026 global fútbol event while showcasing our district’s renowned creative culture to the world. The free Streetcar runs right through Crossroads on Main Street from the River to 51st Street.

Join us at the Crossroads Arts District Night Market to experience arts-driven street life and a one-of-a-kind walkable tour of Kansas City at a hyper-local scale. Eat local, drink local, shop local, and discover local artisans that make up the Crossroads Arts District. Building on the Crossroads’ long tradition of First Fridays and arts-driven street life, the Night Market will transform our galleries, locally owned businesses, and outdoor gathering spaces into a vibrant, illuminated destination for international, regional, and local fans alike.

The Crossroads Arts District Night Market is uniquely positioned just north of the National World War I Museum and Memorial (home to the Official Fan Festival), offering an accessible, walkable, and authentic Kansas City experience for the thousands of international and regional visitors traveling to our city. By highlighting the city’s creative economy, we are generating meaningful opportunities for local artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses on a global stage.
