Events

You may have gone dancing at a club, a reception hall, under a tent, in a gymnasium, even in a barn – but chances are, you've never gone dancing at a site like the one in Kansas City where a USO-style dance is being held on Saturday, April 22.

Fountains are sort of the ultimate water feature in many cities. Famous “coin collectors” include Chicago’s Buckingham Fountain, and London’s Trafalgar Fountain. But those have got nothing on the Missouri city celebrating Fountain Day on April 14.

Are you game for gaming? A Super Smash Brothers sensation? Or wanna display your cosplay skills? Maybe you have a pet that you think can win the cos-paws contest? Then you won’t want to miss this epic event coming up in Hannibal the weekend of April 14-15.

Are you a fan of The Voice, America’s Got Talent, or another talent competition show? Those take place on the national stage. But we’ve got one happening on the local stage, in St. Louis! You won’t want to miss this entertaining (and fundraising) event.

Space, the “final frontier,” according to Star Trek. Another popular astronaut (albeit an animated one), Buzz Light Year declared “to infinity and beyond.” Light years away, space will actually be quite close on Saturday, April 6, 2023, in Kansas City.

Kids can’t wait for the sweet treats Easter brings each spring. On the hunt for hidden Easter eggs filled  with tasty treats – from jelly beans to foil-wrapped chocolate favorites – kids gleefully grab all the treasures they can find.

Spring is definitely in the air and kites should be, too! On Saturday, April 1, you have the perfect opportunity to make that happen and send a kite soaring skyward. Prefer a more down-to-earth pursuit? This event offers that, as well.

It’s barely spring, but the boys of summer will round the corner of home plate soon. For Royals rooters, the team’s home opener can’t come soon enough. Committed Cards fans feel the same way. We thought we’d pitch in with some fun stats.

Chess has long been considered a somewhat serious, intellectual pursuit. But it's gained a broader popularity, thanks in part to the 2020 Netflix hit, “Queen’s Gambit.” Interested in learning more about the game? We’ve got the perfect opportunity.

On St. Patrick’s Day, most of us have corned beef and cabbage on our minds. But Shamrocks and lucky 4-leaf clovers may come to mind, too. Shamrocks are, of course, native to Ireland, not Missouri. But this event about native Missouri plants offers fun for you and your whole family.
