Ghost Light: A Haunted Night of Songs and Stories from KC’s Cultural Crossroads will take place October 21 & 22 in this beautiful Midtown park
This hybrid concert and ghost-story event weaves together local storytellers and musicians to share frighteningly fun tales from KC’s cultural crossroads that will leave you shaking with excitement.
Nestled in the dark woods of Roanoke Park and in partnership with KC Parks, this year’s event will be free to the public, and will feature extraordinary musicians, writers, and storytellers that reflect the cultural riches of our KC community.
