You may know that Boulevardia will feature national acts like Tech N9ne, honestav, and the Greeting Committee — but it isn’t just a music festival.
Taps & Tastes will bring 40+ breweries from across the nation to sample craft beers alongside snacks from KC chefs at Crown Center. Not sure how to navigate the “pop-up party nation”? We’ll be your tour guides.
When + where
This year’s fest is one day only, so prepare for marathon of music and food on Saturday, June 14. Taps & Tastes general admission runs 1-4 p.m., but early admission gets you in an hour earlier.
Breweries will set up at the Crown Center Exhibition Hall, apart from the main festival but within easy walking distance.
- Crown Center parking will be free all day Saturday on a first come first served basis. Access the garages at Pershing Road and McGee Street or Grand Boulevard and 25th Street.
- Better yet, park up north and take the streetcar (We still like the NFL Draft parking map made by VisitKC).
What your ticket gets you
A $85 ticket gets you your keepsake glass and unlimited food and drink tastings. Early bird tickets cost $125. Plus, a Taps & Tastes ticket includes a festival pass.
