Just a short 25-minute drive from downtown Kansas City, the venue is ideally located for both local teams and visiting crews. Kansas City, often called the "Heart of America," is a city with soul—famous for its award-winning barbecue, rich jazz and blues heritage, and a thriving arts and entertainment scene. The festival gives visitors the perfect excuse to paddle hard during the day and explore the city’s vibrant offerings in the evening.
