Hemp Fest Southmoreland Park	Sat., August 30, 12:00pm-5:00pm	Kansas City, Kansas	Fairs and Festivals
"Cannabis cannot kill you, and therefore there is no justification behind its illegality," says Jordan Baldwin, organizer of Saturday's Hemp Fest. "The cannabis-hemp plant is being held captive through misinformation and propaganda campaigns, ignorance, peer pressure and bullying. Innocent... More >>

Kottonmouth Kings, Tech N9ne, Hed P.E., X Clan, Dirtball, Prozak Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone	Sat., August 30	West
Now that he’s reached the ripe old age of 37, you’d think that Tech N9ne would be ready to hang up the mic. But judging by how he’s spent his time lately, Kansas City’s tongue-twisting hip-hop ambassador is just now hitting his stride. His 11th full-length, Killer (the cover... More >>

School of Hard Knocks Hale Arena	Sat., August 30, 7:00pm	Downtown	Sports (Spectator)

Goodguys 7th Midwestern Nationals Kansas Speedway	Daily from Fri., August 29 until Sun., August 31	Wyandotte County	Auto
Remember back when pompadours were piled as high as an elephant's eye, poodle skirts were a national birthright and if you wanted a two-tone gab jacket, you just reached up and plucked it straight off the vine? That was in the 1950s. None of us were alive then, either, but if there's one thing... More >>

Chapungu at Powell Gardens Powell Gardens	Daily from Fri., June 13 until Sun., November 2	North	Outside
The regal stone sculptures that have taken up residence at Powell Gardens soar as high as 11 feet tall and weigh as much as 5,000 pounds.
