There will also be other fun things to do like a Beer Garden, yard games, fire spinners, henna artists, face painting, a pumpkin patch & more fall fun.
We hope you enjoy the month of October as much as we do. There are too many fun things to do in Kansas City, but our Guide to October Events around town will help you sort through what your family wants to do. There are Fall festivals, Halloween festivals, spooky events, fright nights, craft and clay events, a Hocus Pocus showing & so much more.
You can find something to do almost every night of the week!
Be sure to sign up for The Scoop so you don’t miss out on all the fun things to do in Kansas City!
From our family to yours, iFamilyKC.
