How to get to Farm Fest
The address of Common Ground is 2443 S. 42nd Street, KCKS, 66106.
Because FARM FEST is a BLOCK PARTY, the road will be closed between Gibbs and Dodson.
Navigate to Shawnee Drive and South 42nd St. and look for signs directing you to park at a nearby church parking lot or in our dear neighbor Charlie’s field.
It's a short walk up the hill to the entrance and we'll have shuttles to help those with mobility challenges get to Farm Fest.
Please take a look at the map. It will guide you to FARM FEST.
