Need an excuse to check out a new neighborhood in Kansas City? The Parade of Hearts are the perfect reason to explore and to step your selfie game up.

The public art installation is back for 2023, and The Star created a map featuring every heart in this year’s run.

Organizers intended for the hearts to take a break after last summer and come back in 2024, but executive director Jenn Nussbeck told The Star in October that public demand was so high they felt compelled to bring a version of the project back for 2023, too.

“15 to 87, Touchdown” by artist Mike Savage is one of 40 hearts that make up the 2023 season of The Parade of Hearts.

This edition of the Parade of Hearts features 40 hearts from local artists, celebrating all things Kansas City. After a showcase in April, every heart is on display for the public to view until July 5.

Here’s a map of where you can find them. You can click on each icon to see the name of the heart, the name of the artist, the location and a photo of the heart.
