The extension opening extravaganza will be a two-day affair, starting Friday morning with a press conference, and then a Friday evening celebration and drone show at UMKC and a Saturday family festival near 39th and Main.

The free streetcars arrive every 10-12 minutes and will take aproximately 30 minutes to travel the length of the line according to KC Streetcar Authority spokesperson Donna Mandelbaum. The stops are wheelchair accessible and equipped with lighting and arrival information.
