One of Kansas City’s most distinctive districts springs to life on the first weekend of each month. First Friday Weekends in the West Bottoms can’t be missed by those in search of a memorable shopping journey, with repurposed brick buildings opening their doors as multistory vintage and antique stores.
First Friday Weekends also fill the streets of the historic stockyards neighborhood with live music and food vendors. They’re joined by a lineup of cocktail bars, coffee shops, restaurants and retailers with permanent locations in the West Bottoms, offering plenty of reasons to stay longer and return soon.
