All Star Week to reach its crescendo today
The five-day blue wave of All Star excitement will reach its climax today in Downtown and around Kansas City.
While Downtown hotels will remain full of All Star fanatics for another few days, today is the final day of scheduled Major League Baseball activities. Considering that Kansas City is not likely to host another All Star Game for years to come, do yourself a favor and take the time to enjoy the festivities today and tonight.
For starters, be sure to check out the MLB All Star Fan Fest at Bartle Hall. It’s a buy one/get one free ticket day at Fan Fest, which will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Downtown is also the place to be for a special They Were All Stars exhibit at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and an open house at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
As for tonight, if you are not going to the K to see the game in person, Downtown is playing host to four free community watch parties at 18th & Vine, Crown Center, Guadalupe Center and the Power & Light District.
