Kansas City This Weekend: From Fire-Breathing Dragons (Kind Of) to Baseball Beatdowns (Hopefully Not)
Hey there, culture vultures and weekend warriors! It's that glorious time again: two whole days where you can ditch the spreadsheets (or the chicken coop, no judgment) and embrace the wild world of Kansas City. But with so much happening, where do you even start? Fear not, my friend, for I, your friendly neighborhood oracle (with way better hair), have the down-low on the hottest events this weekend.

| What's Happening In Kansas City This Weekend |
Calling All Rockstars (Air Guitar Not Included)
First up, we've got a musical showdown that's guaranteed to get your toes tappin' and your air guitar heroics flowing. Grupo Firme is taking over the T-Mobile Center on Saturday night. Brush up on your Spanish (or just pretend you understand every word) and get ready for a night of electrifying Latin music.
Not your jam? No worries! The good ol' Starlight Theatre is hosting everyone's favorite green ogre in the hilarious Shrek the Musical. Donkey, Fiona, and Lord Farquaad (what a jerk) come to life on stage, proving fairytales aren't always what they seem (especially when ogres are involved).
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
⚾ Batter Up! (Unless You're More of a Hot Dog Kind of Person)
America's favorite pastime (well, one of them) is back in action! The Kansas City Royals are taking on the [insert opposing team here] at Kauffman Stadium all weekend long. Cheer on your home team, indulge in a questionable-yet-delicious hot dog, and soak up that classic baseball atmosphere. Bonus points if you can snag a foul ball (just don't bean anyone in the process!).
Baseball not your thing? That's okay! The Wellness Summit is happening on Sunday, offering a chance to focus on your mind, body, and soul. Think yoga, meditation, and all things self-care - the perfect antidote to a week of spreadsheets (or chicken wrangling).
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Festival Fun and Historical Haunts (Because Why Not?)
If you're looking for a little more "medieval vibes" (and a chance to escape the summer heat), head over to the Melrose Abbey Open House. Mingle with royalty (reenactors, not the real deal), witness some impressive fire-breathing (hopefully controlled) demonstrations, and pretend you've traveled back in time (without the whole plague and lack of Wi-Fi thing).
Feeling a little more adventurous? Explore the Wyandotte County Ethnic Festival or the Wyandotte County Fair. These events offer a delicious smorgasbord of cultures, complete with carnival rides, pig races, and enough funnel cakes to satisfy your inner child (or, you know, your actual child).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
