In comparison, Indigenous stories highlight relations to other beings. In accordance with the Indigenous imperative to see the land, animals, and other living beings represented, Julie Buffalohead\u2019s work exhibits a rematriated approach to storytelling, grounded in Indigenous values and depicting love for beings beyond oneself.<\/p>\n<p>A citizen of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, Julie Buffalohead (b. 1972) creates visual narratives that center Native storytelling.\u00a0<em>Stories of Becoming<\/em>\u00a0features a new series by Buffalohead that incorporates animals of Indigenous stories alongside the often contradictory stories from European folklore to reenvision the teachings imposed on youth and within our communities. Alongside these visual stories, Buffalohead engages with images of contemporary femininity and youth, representing traditional and modern protectors and leaders.<\/p>\n<p>As parents alter and update the stories passed on to children, Buffalohead recenters the stories Indigenous communities need to hold onto\u2014the ones that tell of the spirits and safeguards still present within contemporary life, the ones that serve as reminders to care for community, and the stories of pain that established Indigenous histories of resiliency.

The series is designed to be highly accessible, offering free, family-friendly entertainment that invites residents to connect through the shared experience of open-air music. For the 2026 season, concerts are held on consecutive Sunday evenings at 7:00 PM throughout June and early July.<\/p>\n<p>The performances will take place at Thompson Park in Downtown Overland Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks to settle in for an hour of performance.

Since the City of Overland Park's ownership in 2018, the event has grown into a cherished tradition where thousands of residents gather to enjoy a high-energy atmosphere that begins in the late afternoon. The evening is anchored by a curated selection of live musical acts\u2014ranging from patriotic military bands to local rock and pop favorites\u2014and a diverse fleet of food trucks serving everything from classic BBQ and funnel cakes to gourmet international cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>As the sun sets over the park, the energy shifts toward the night's main attraction: one of the largest and most sophisticated fireworks displays in the region. Choreographed to a patriotic soundtrack and typically launched around 10:00 PM, the show is a masterclass in pyrotechnic artistry that lights up the Johnson County skyline. Because the event is free and the park is open all day, many families arrive early to claim prime viewing spots with blankets and coolers, creating a \"hometown\" feel that balances the scale of a major city production with the warmth of a neighborhood picnic.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Festivals & Special Events\" category=\"52_0\"> Festivals & Special Events<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sip-shop&event_id=95378\">Sip & Shop<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">05-13-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">07-08-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Olathe at Johnson County Square, Olathe<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sip-shop&event_id=95378\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/03\/event-featured-sip-shop-1774642474-900x600.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Jul 08 @ 5:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"422\">Sip & Shop brings a lively, midweek energy to the Johnson County Square each month, transforming downtown into a vibrant pop-up market filled with local flavor and creativity.

Running on select Thursday evenings throughout June, July, and August, the series showcases a high-energy rotation of Kansas City\u2019s favorite local bands, spanning genres from soulful jazz and big band to high-energy pop and classic rock. The event is intentionally designed to be accessible and communal; there is no admission fee, and the park\u2019s open lawn provides the perfect setting for attendees to spread out with blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics while enjoying a professional-grade sound experience under the sunset. What truly sets this series apart is the energetic atmosphere that begins well before the first note. In the hours leading up to the 7:00 PM showtime, the area often buzzes with additional festivities such as local car shows and yard games. The park\u2019s amenities\u2014including a splash pad for children, a playground, and nearby local breweries and eateries\u2014make it easy for families and friends to turn a simple concert into a full evening of exploration. It\u2019s an authentic slice of Overland Park life where the historic charm of the Strang Carriage House meets a vibrant, modern social scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Performances:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thursday June 11, 2026 - Elisia Israel<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, July 9, 2026 - Soca Jukebox<\/p>\n<p>August 13, 2026 - Twice on Sunday<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?leawood-for-the-goal-town-center-tailgate&event_id=96364\">Leawood For the Goal Town Center Tailgate<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">07-11-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">07-11-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at Town Center Plaza, Leawood<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?leawood-for-the-goal-town-center-tailgate&event_id=96364\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/04\/event-featured-town-center-tailgate-1776285606.png\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Jul 11 @ 4:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        <div class=\"eli_information-right\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_button-container\">\n                    <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawoodforthegoal.com\/tailgate\" class=\"eli_a eli_button eli_large\"><span class=\"eli_span\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of soccer, community, and summer fun!

Night Music offers audiences a richly atmospheric summer concert filled with lyricism, color, and expressive storytelling.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sunflower-ragtime-orchestra-concert-king-of-ragtime-the-music-of-scott-joplin&event_id=99445\">Sunflower Ragtime Orchestra Concert: \"King of Ragtime -- The Music of Scott Joplin\"<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">07-16-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">07-16-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    Sunflower Ragtime Orchestra at Grace United Methodist Church, Olathe<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sunflower-ragtime-orchestra-concert-king-of-ragtime-the-music-of-scott-joplin&event_id=99445\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/06\/event-featured-sunflower-ragtime-orchestra-concert-king-of-ragtime-the-music-of-scott-joplin-1781479537.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Thu, Jul 16 @ 7:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>The Sunflower Ragtime Orchestra presents \"King of Ragtime -- The Music of Scott Joplin,\" on Thursday, July 16, 2026, 7 pm, at Grace United Methodist Church, 11485 S.

The program hosts a diverse rotation of high-energy performers including popular regional musicians like Mr. Stinky Feet, the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, and various storytellers and magicians. Each session is built around the \"giggle and wiggle\" philosophy, encouraging active participation from the kids rather than just passive listening. Because the program is free and requires no pre-registration, it serves as a flexible, low-pressure outing for parents and caregivers. The venue shifts with the seasons to take advantage of the weather: events are typically held indoors at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center during the cooler months and move outdoors to Roe Park in June and August. It\u2019s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Performers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>June 3 - Mr. Stinky Feet (Roe Park)<\/p>\n<p>Aug. 5 - Jane Christison (Roe Park)<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n\n\n            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Only required it in the list events -->\n            <div class=\"eli_pagination\" id=\"artsopolis-calendar-pagination\"><\/div>\n            <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n                var artsopolis_calendar_paging = {\n                    total_event: 65,\n                    page_size: 21                };\n            <\/script>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div id=\"ongoing\" class=\"tab\">\n            <div id=\"ongoing-container\" class=\"eli_list \" >\n                \n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?tim-murphy-art-gallery-life-in-ink&event_id=98122\">Tim Murphy Art Gallery: Life in Ink<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">06-04-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">06-27-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    Merriam Parks & Recreation at Tim Murphy Art Gallery, Merriam<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?tim-murphy-art-gallery-life-in-ink&event_id=98122\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/05\/event-featured-tim-murphy-art-gallery-life-in-ink-1779118467-600x600.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Mon, Jun 22 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Tue, Jun 23 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                                                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Jun 24 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"eli_expand-more-dates\"> + 3 more dates and times<\/span>                    <p class=\"eli_p eli_more-date eli_hidden\">                        <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Thu, Jun 25 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Fri, Jun 26 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Jun 27 @ 8:00 am<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_collapse-more-dates\">- less dates and times<\/span><\/p>                    \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p>Join us for the FREE opening night reception on Thursday, June 4 from 7 \u2013 8:30 pm.

In comparison, Indigenous stories highlight relations to other beings. In accordance with the Indigenous imperative to see the land, animals, and other living beings represented, Julie Buffalohead\u2019s work exhibits a rematriated approach to storytelling, grounded in Indigenous values and depicting love for beings beyond oneself.<\/p>\n<p>A citizen of the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, Julie Buffalohead (b. 1972) creates visual narratives that center Native storytelling.\u00a0<em>Stories of Becoming<\/em>\u00a0features a new series by Buffalohead that incorporates animals of Indigenous stories alongside the often contradictory stories from European folklore to reenvision the teachings imposed on youth and within our communities. Alongside these visual stories, Buffalohead engages with images of contemporary femininity and youth, representing traditional and modern protectors and leaders.<\/p>\n<p>As parents alter and update the stories passed on to children, Buffalohead recenters the stories Indigenous communities need to hold onto\u2014the ones that tell of the spirits and safeguards still present within contemporary life, the ones that serve as reminders to care for community, and the stories of pain that established Indigenous histories of resiliency. Within\u00a0<em>Stories of Becoming<\/em>, Buffalohead grounds her depictions in space and a more defined landscape, materializing the reality, authenticity, and validity of Indigenous stories while still leaving room for humor.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalohead received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Minneapolis, MN and her MFA from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. She has received numerous awards and fellowships, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant, and Guggenheim Fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Kendra R.

The series is designed to be highly accessible, offering free, family-friendly entertainment that invites residents to connect through the shared experience of open-air music. For the 2026 season, concerts are held on consecutive Sunday evenings at 7:00 PM throughout June and early July.<\/p>\n<p>The performances will take place at Thompson Park in Downtown Overland Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks to settle in for an hour of performance.

Since the City of Overland Park's ownership in 2018, the event has grown into a cherished tradition where thousands of residents gather to enjoy a high-energy atmosphere that begins in the late afternoon. The evening is anchored by a curated selection of live musical acts\u2014ranging from patriotic military bands to local rock and pop favorites\u2014and a diverse fleet of food trucks serving everything from classic BBQ and funnel cakes to gourmet international cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>As the sun sets over the park, the energy shifts toward the night's main attraction: one of the largest and most sophisticated fireworks displays in the region. Choreographed to a patriotic soundtrack and typically launched around 10:00 PM, the show is a masterclass in pyrotechnic artistry that lights up the Johnson County skyline. Because the event is free and the park is open all day, many families arrive early to claim prime viewing spots with blankets and coolers, creating a \"hometown\" feel that balances the scale of a major city production with the warmth of a neighborhood picnic.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Festivals & Special Events\" category=\"52_0\"> Festivals & Special Events<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>,&nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sip-shop&event_id=95378\">Sip & Shop<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">05-13-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">07-08-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Olathe at Johnson County Square, Olathe<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?sip-shop&event_id=95378\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/03\/event-featured-sip-shop-1774642474-900x600.jpeg\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Wed, Jul 08 @ 5:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"422\">Sip & Shop brings a lively, midweek energy to the Johnson County Square each month, transforming downtown into a vibrant pop-up market filled with local flavor and creativity.

Running on select Thursday evenings throughout June, July, and August, the series showcases a high-energy rotation of Kansas City\u2019s favorite local bands, spanning genres from soulful jazz and big band to high-energy pop and classic rock. The event is intentionally designed to be accessible and communal; there is no admission fee, and the park\u2019s open lawn provides the perfect setting for attendees to spread out with blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics while enjoying a professional-grade sound experience under the sunset. What truly sets this series apart is the energetic atmosphere that begins well before the first note. In the hours leading up to the 7:00 PM showtime, the area often buzzes with additional festivities such as local car shows and yard games. The park\u2019s amenities\u2014including a splash pad for children, a playground, and nearby local breweries and eateries\u2014make it easy for families and friends to turn a simple concert into a full evening of exploration. It\u2019s an authentic slice of Overland Park life where the historic charm of the Strang Carriage House meets a vibrant, modern social scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Performances:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thursday June 11, 2026 - Elisia Israel<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, July 9, 2026 - Soca Jukebox<\/p>\n<p>August 13, 2026 - Twice on Sunday<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Music\" category=\"4_0\"> Music<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n<div class=\"eli_row\">\n<h4 class=\"eli_h4 eli_title\">\n    <a class=\"eli_a\"  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?leawood-for-the-goal-town-center-tailgate&event_id=96364\">Leawood For the Goal Town Center Tailgate<\/a>\n    <div class=\"hidden\">07-11-2026<\/div>\n<\/h4>\n    <p class=\"endate eli_hidden\">07-11-2026<\/p>\n<span class=\"eli_span eli_address\">\n    <span class=\"eli_span eli_title\">Presented by <\/span>\n    City of Leawood at Town Center Plaza, Leawood<\/span>\n<div class=\"eli_row-main \">\n    <a  href=\"https:\/\/artsjoco.org\/acjc\/calendar-of-events?leawood-for-the-goal-town-center-tailgate&event_id=96364\" class=\"eli_a eli_img landscape\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artskcgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/artskcgo.com\/images\/2026\/04\/event-featured-town-center-tailgate-1776285606.png\" class=\"eli_img\" \/><\/a>\n\n    <div class=\"eli_information\">\n        <div class=\"eli_information-inner\">\n            <div class=\"eli_information-left\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_offer-date clear\">\n                    <span class=\"eli_span eli_offer-date-title\">Upcoming Dates:<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"eli_span eli_full-price-content eli_full-w-float-l\">Sat, Jul 11 @ 4:00 pm<\/span>\n                                                                \n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n                        <div class=\"eli_information-right\">\n                                <div class=\"eli_button-container\">\n                    <a  target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawoodforthegoal.com\/tailgate\" class=\"eli_a eli_button eli_large\"><span class=\"eli_span\">Buy Tickets<\/span><\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                                \n                            <\/div>\n                        \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div> <!--#information -->\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"artsopolis-calendar-summary eli_summary\">\n    <div class=\"eli_summary-short\">\n        <p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of soccer, community, and summer fun!

The program hosts a diverse rotation of high-energy performers including popular regional musicians like Mr. Stinky Feet, the StoneLion Puppet Theatre, and various storytellers and magicians. Each session is built around the \"giggle and wiggle\" philosophy, encouraging active participation from the kids rather than just passive listening. Because the program is free and requires no pre-registration, it serves as a flexible, low-pressure outing for parents and caregivers. The venue shifts with the seasons to take advantage of the weather: events are typically held indoors at the Tomahawk Ridge Community Center during the cooler months and move outdoors to Roe Park in June and August. It\u2019s a great way for local families to connect while introducing children to the performing arts in a fun, accessible environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates and Performers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>June 3 - Mr. Stinky Feet (Roe Park)<\/p>\n<p>Aug. 5 - Jane Christison (Roe Park)<\/p>\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"eli_a eli_less-summary\">[less-]<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    \n    <h6 class=\"eli_h6 eli_tags\">Tags: &nbsp;<a class=\"eli_a\" category-name=\"Free\" category=\"53_0\"> Free<\/a>    <\/h6> \n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div><!-- #end row -->\n\n\n\n            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Only required it in the list events -->\n            <div class=\"eli_pagination\" id=\"artsopolis-calendar-pagination-second-tab\"><\/div>\n            <script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n                var artsopolis_calendar_paging_second_tab = {\n                    total_event: 0,\n                    page_size: artsopolis_calendar_paging.page_size\n                };\n            <\/script>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ac-current-view\" id=\"ac-current-view\" value=\"normal\" \/>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div><!-- #content-can-filter-inner-->\n        <\/div><!-- #content-can-filter-->\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><!-- #wrap -->\n\n<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ac-fid\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ac_view\" value=\"default\" >\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Category Art ArtsKC Calendar ArtsKC Supported Classes Dance Family Festivals Film First Friday Free Holiday Literary Music Theatre Virtual Venue 1900 Building B&amp;B Live!
