The story

Boulevardia in Kansas City

Boulevardia was an urban craft beer and music festival in Kansas City founded in partnership with Boulevard Brewing Company. Over its decade-long run it took over streets, parking lots, and open spaces in three different parts of Kansas City's urban core, pairing beer from around the world with national and local touring acts. The festival concluded permanently after its tenth anniversary season.

Boulevardia began as a partnership between festival organizers and Boulevard Brewing Company, the Kansas City craft brewery that had spent years building a national reputation for its wheat beers and seasonal releases.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Boulevardia's defining trait was its founding partnership with Boulevard Brewing Company, Kansas City's best-known craft brewery, which anchored a beer program that eventually poured hundreds of beers from breweries across the globe alongside Boulevard's own lineup

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than fixing itself to one location, the festival relocated across three different corners of Kansas City's urban core over its ten-year run, turning streets, parking lots, and otherwise unused spaces into festival grounds each time

03

The city starts moving

It combined that mobility with a lineup mixing international and national headliners with the best of Kansas City's own music scene, plus makers, local vendors, and food, positioning itself as a showcase for the city's creative and culinary community rather than a single-genre music festival
