What better way to celebrate the best city in the Country than with Bingo and BEAUTIFUL weather! I feel blessed to get to live and work in my favorite city in America. There’s so many special aspects to Kansas City that other cities don’t have and Kansas City deserves to be celebrated.
What is 816 Day?
“816 Day is the annual city-proclaimed celebration of Kansas City culture, featuring live entertainment, branded events, and special deals. On this day, community connectedness is strengthened by local business and resident pride.
816 Day is named after our city’s area code and takes place yearly on August 16th. On this date in 2018, Mayor Sly James signed Resolution 180592 to celebrate the newest holiday “816 Day”, thanks to a collaborative effort by the Downtown Neighborhood Association and representatives from the 816 Day Planning Committee.” -dnakcmo.org
