Every event below has its own guide: where to park, how far you'll walk, what the ground is like, and how we get a scooter or wheelchair to you before you arrive. This list updates itself — events drop off once they've finished.
Coming up
- Kansas City Monarchs Baseball at Legends Field On now - ends Sep 30
Legends Field, 1800 Village West Pkwy, Kansas City, KS 66111
How to enjoy a Kansas City Monarchs game at Legends Field comfortably — with a mobility scooter delivered to your Village West hotel.
- Kansas City Renaissance Festival On now - ends Oct 18
Kansas City Renaissance Festival, Bonner Springs, KS
The KC Renaissance Festival runs seven weekends each fall (late August through mid-October) on a permanent 16th-century-themed village site in Bonner Springs. The site is large, hilly, and largely gravel-pathed — one of the most physically demanding KC-area visitor events for anyone with mobility limits. A scooter rental makes a full festival day feasible for older relatives and visitors recovering from surgery.
- 17th Annual Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) 2026 Sep 23-25
Kansas City Convention Center (Bartle Hall), 301 W 13th St, Kansas City, MO
The 17th Annual Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) 2026 is Jamf's annual Apple-device-management conference, held September 23–25, 2026 at the Kansas City Convention Center downtown. A multi-day scooter rental makes the large convention-center footprint and downtown hotel walks far easier across three full days.
- KU Family Weekend Oct 9-11
University of Kansas campus and Lawrence venues
KU Family Weekend is the annual fall weekend bringing parents and families to Lawrence for parent-and-family programming, a football game at Memorial Stadium, and campus events. Smaller than Commencement but the same hotel-delivery and accessibility logistics apply.
- Garmin Kansas City Marathon Oct 17-18
Course runs through downtown KC, Crown Center, Plaza, Westport, Crossroads
The Garmin Kansas City Marathon runs each October through downtown Kansas City, Crown Center, the Plaza, Westport, and Crossroads. For spectators with mobility limits — typically the runners' parents and grandparents — strategic viewing positions and a mobility scooter make a multi-stop spectator day feasible.
- KU Homecoming Oct 23-25
University of Kansas — Memorial Stadium, Allen Fieldhouse, alumni venues
KU Homecoming is the annual alumni weekend in October — alumni reunion events, the homecoming football game at Memorial Stadium, parade, and class reunions. Hotel-delivered scooter for visitors with mobility limits.
- Hallmark Christmas Experience Nov 27 - Dec 20
Crown Center Square, Kansas City, MO
Hallmark recreates a holiday town square at Crown Center Square every weekend from Thanksgiving through Christmas — immersive light displays, artist-led workshops, local vendors, and Hallmark Channel stars on stage. General admission is free; ticketed packages add access to the stage shows. The plaza sits at the heart of Crown Center, directly connected by indoor walkway to the Westin and Sheraton hotels, which makes it one of the easiest cold-weather events in Kansas City to plan a scooter rental around.
- Kansas City Home Show 2027 Jan 29-31
Bartle Hall (Kansas City Convention Center)
The Kansas City Home Show is one of the largest annual consumer trade shows at Bartle Hall, drawing tens of thousands of homeowners across a three-day weekend each January. A scooter rental delivered to your downtown hotel turns a demanding, booth-to-booth day on the convention floor into a comfortable visit.
- Big 12 Basketball Tournament 2027 Mar 10-14
T-Mobile Center
The Big 12 Basketball Tournament is one of Kansas City's signature annual events — four to five days of conference basketball at T-Mobile Center that fills downtown hotels and the Power & Light District with fans from across the Big 12 footprint. A multi-day scooter rental delivered to your downtown hotel handles the full tournament experience.
- NASCAR Cup Series Spring Race Weekend 2027 at Kansas Speedway May 7-9
Kansas Speedway
NASCAR's spring race weekend at Kansas Speedway is one of two annual Cup Series visits to Kansas City — three days of qualifying, support series racing, and the Cup race itself across the Speedway's 1.5-mile tri-oval. A full-weekend mobility scooter rental delivered to your hotel handles the race, the long walks, and the multi-day stamina demand.
- Boulevardia 2027 Jun 11-12
Crown Center area, Kansas City, MO (venue has historically moved between the Stockyards/West Bottoms and Crown Center — confirm current year)
Boulevardia is Kansas City's annual craft beer, music, and food festival — one of the signature summer outdoor events in the metro. This guide covers mobility scooter rental logistics, festival accessibility patterns, and hotel base options for visitors with mobility needs planning a Boulevardia weekend.
- Kansas City Irish Fest 2027 Sep 3-5
Crown Center, Kansas City, MO
Kansas City Irish Fest is the region's largest celebration of Irish music, dance, food, and culture — a three-day Labor Day weekend festival at Crown Center that draws tens of thousands of visitors across the long weekend. A rental scooter delivered to your downtown or Crown Center hotel makes the full festival accessible from multiple stages to the food tents to the dance competitions.
- Plaza Art Fair 2027 Sep 24-26
Country Club Plaza
The Plaza Art Fair is one of the Midwest's top juried art festivals, transforming Kansas City's Country Club Plaza into an open-air gallery of more than 240 artists across three days each September. Music stages, food vendors, and Plaza-wide programming fill the district. A rental scooter delivered to your Plaza-area hotel covers the entire festival footprint without the walking fatigue of a typical day.
- NASCAR Cup Series Fall Race Weekend 2027 at Kansas Speedway Oct 1-3
Kansas Speedway
NASCAR's fall race weekend at Kansas Speedway is the second of two annual Cup Series visits to Kansas City and often falls within the NASCAR playoffs, raising the stakes of the race weekend. Three days of qualifying, support series racing, and the Cup race itself across the Speedway's 1.5-mile tri-oval. A full-weekend mobility scooter rental delivered to your hotel handles the distance, the long walks, and the multi-day pattern.
- American Royal World Series of BBQ 2027 Oct 1-3
American Royal Complex (venue has migrated in recent years — confirm current year)
The American Royal World Series of BBQ is the world's largest barbecue competition and one of Kansas City's signature annual events — hundreds of BBQ teams, public tasting opportunities, live music, and KC's deep barbecue culture on full display. A multi-day rental scooter makes a three-day event weekend comfortable from gate to tasting to concert stage.
- Country Club Plaza Lighting Ceremony 2027 Nov 25 - Jan 17
Country Club Plaza
The Country Club Plaza Lighting Ceremony on Thanksgiving evening is Kansas City's signature holiday event and one of the largest annual tourism draws in the Midwest — 80 miles of lights outlining every building in the 15-block Plaza district, running from the Thanksgiving-evening ceremony through mid-January. A rental scooter makes the Plaza Lights experience accessible without cold-weather walking fatigue.
