Lawn Party

Before temperatures really start to rise, pack a picnic and head to one of Kansas City’s iconic lawns to have a picnic party.

KC is filled with shady outdoor spaces perfect for a summer afternoon, whether it’s the Nelson-Atkins lawn with its iconic shuttlecock or Loose Park’s rolling green expanse.

If you want a DIY picnic experience, grab a quality blanket like those at KC’s Pancho’s Blanket, hit a local thrift store for a unique picnic basket, and fill it with your favorite local grocer’s (or farmers market’s) snacks and drinks. 

If you want to make it a special occasion—whether it be a birthday, date night or engagement—boutique dinnerware rental and styled tablescape company Pop Up Picnics KC has got you covered.

Born as a socially distanced solution to quarantine boredom, Pop Up Picnics KC has myriad choices for stylized picnics, like Classic Boho or Moroccan Mosaic, as well as a wide array of packages ranging from stylized fine dining to a personal movie screening experience or a floating picnic on water.

Whether you want to splurge on a truly unforgettable curated picnic experience or would rather DIY it, hit one of KC’s iconic parks and celebrate summer.
