Another weekend is on our doorstep! Here are five activities for the perfect fall weekend.
Giselle – Kansas City Ballet Beginning October 14
The Kansas City Ballet is back for a new season with Giselle: “Embark on a tragic tale about a young girl’s innocent love for a nobleman secretly disguised as a commoner. The classic tale then changes course becoming one of heartbreak, tears, and retribution, which ultimately leads to forgiveness.”
Cornucopia: KC’s Ultimate Fall Festival October 14-16
Coined as “KC’s Ultimate Fall Fest,” Cornucopia is a one-stop shop for your fall bucket list. The family-friendly fair includes carnival rides, bounce houses, and pony rides—this year’s festival will feature the annual event’s first Ferris wheel.
