Looking for the Parade of Hearts sculptures around KC? Here’s how to find them
The hunt is on for the Parade of Hearts.
From within Kansas City to the outskirts of the metro like Lawrence, Topeka, Chillicothe and St. Joseph, the region will be filled with the heart-shaped sculptures.
The destinations are slowly being revealed on the Parade of Hearts map, where it says all 150 hearts will be at their respective spots by Wednesday, April 15. Many of the artists at the Parade of Hearts’ 150 United event said they didn’t know where their sculptures were going, so you’re finding out at the same time as them.
The map currently lists 12 locations where the 2026 hearts can be found. Businesses and local governments around the area have said they’re getting hearts, but haven’t received them yet, like the Lenexa location of Rudy’s Tenampa Taqueria.
Some heart locations have also been revealed by the business or government social media pages before the map updates, so be on the lookout for surprise reveals.
So which hearts are on display now? Here’s where you can find them.
