KC’s Boulevardia ‘craft beer and music’ festival canceled due to COVID-19 concerns

Organizers of the two-day Boulevardia urban street festival have canceled the 2020 event due to concerns over the novel coronavirus.

In a statement, Trever Frickey, Boulevardia president, said: “Providing a safe, secure and healthy environment for our pop-up party nation is our top priority. With that in mind, Boulevardia is being canceled for 2020 but we look forward to bringing all the beer, food, music and fun back next year.”

Boulevardia has been held in the West Bottoms and the Stockyards District, but for the seventh annual event — June 19 to 20 — it was to relocate to Crown Center and Washington Square Park.

The “craft beer and music” festival features local, regional and national acts, food samplings, interactive activities and shopping.

All ticket packages purchased through boulevardia.com will be automatically refunded within 10 to 14 business days. Hotel rooms that were booked directly through one of the festival’s hotel partners with the Boulevardia promotional room rate will be automatically canceled and no action is required.
