Kansas City’s Boulevardia beer and music festival is changing locations in 2020

The Boulevardia beer and music festival in Kansas City will be held in a new location in 2020, organizers announced Wednesday.

When the street festival returns for its seventh year on Friday, June 19, and Saturday, June 20, it will be on Grand Boulevard, at Crown Center and Washington Square Park downtown.

Boulevardia was created as an event that could pop up in any Kansas City area, organizers said. It originally took place in the West Bottoms for the first three years, and then in the Stockyards District for the next three years.

“We are excited to bring Boulevardia to a different part of the Kansas City community for its seventh year,” said Trever Frickey, Boulevardia vice president.

“Each year we challenge ourselves to reimagine elements of the festival and feel confident that we can bring a fresh new flavor of Boulevardia to this venue. We look forward to working with Crown Center and the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department to bring all the beer, food, music and fun into downtown in 2020.”

Organizers said they are working on the music lineup, which will include local, regional and national acts. More details about the festival will be announced in the coming months.
