KC Live!

Set across a full city block in downtown Kansas City, this flexible event venue gives organisers room to bring large gatherings, receptions and entertainment programmes together in one distinctive setting. The two-storey site includes 14 entertainment venues around a central stage, making it possible to shape the event around one main space or incorporate nearby bars and restaurants.

The block covers 25,000 square feet and can accommodate groups from around 150 to more than 8,000 people. Organisers can consider it for banquets, cocktail receptions, concerts, dine-arounds, festivals and corporate functions. The covered, open-air plaza has a 40-foot LED screen, a built-in stage, house sound and lighting, wireless microphones, internet access and on-site audiovisual technicians. Fans and heaters help make the space usable in different weather, while flexible layouts and available tables, picnic seating and games support a range of event formats.

Event support can include catering, staffing, talent sourcing and contracting, planning assistance, and coordination on the day. The venue can also draw on its surrounding restaurants and nightlife spaces to tailor the footprint to the size and style of a gathering. Its downtown location is close to the convention centre and hotels, with parking garages nearby and access to the streetcar within walking distance. For organisers looking for a large-scale Kansas City event space with built-in production facilities and food and drink options, the block offers a versatile base for both business occasions and social celebrations.
