Location
Kansas City Irish Fest takes over Crown Center Square at the world headquarters of Hallmark Cards every Labor Day weekend, along with Washington Park and Grand Boulevard that connects the two. Crown Center is a hub of shopping, hotels, restaurants, theater and the arts. The grounds are 90 percent concrete, so rainouts are rare.
Our two host Hotels, The Hyatt Regency Crown Center and The Westin Crown Center are both conveniently located an easy stroll from all the Irish Fest attractions and offer special discounted Irish Fest rates. The beautifully restored historic Union Station is just across the street, and the vibrant Crossroads Arts District is short blocks away.
Hotels
Our Irish Fest Hotels are accepting reservations now for the 2010 Kansas City Irish Fest. Both hotels are a short stroll to Irish Fest. READ MORE
