Explore. Try. Repeat

This September, you’ll want to make sure a trip to Bonner Springs is on your calendar! Now that the weather is cooling off, venture just a few miles west of Kansas City and tour our historic, charming downtown. There are several events to entertain you and provide something out-of-the-ordinary to do! On September 14, our downtown merchants will host the Fall Flower Crawl from 5-8 p.m. Grab a ticket online and then head out to collect a beautiful bouquet of fall flowers from each retailer you visit! On the same night, food trucks, live music, the farmers market, and vendors will line the streets for our monthly Evenings on Oak event. On September 30, the city will host the annual Fall Festival and Vintage Market. Dozens of vendors and makers will fill the downtown with their crafts, wares, and art!
 
Need some other ideas?  Check out ZipKC’s Outdoor Haunted House, Exiled: Trail of Terrors. This isn’t your ordinary haunted house… Exiled: Trail of Terror is a self-guided hike of horror deep in the dark woods of Kansas. You and your friends must face your worst fears by clawing your way through our evil forest. This Kansas City haunted house is NOT for the faint of heart. If you are scared of getting dirty, sweaty, or hiking through the darkness OUTSIDE, then Exiled is not for you!
 
Don’t forget the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, also located in Bonner Springs! The KC RenFest began in 1977 as a benefit for the Kansas City Art Institute.  Since then, the festival has grown to be one of the largest Renaissance Festivals in the United States and has an annual attendance of 200,000!
