In Kansas City, there is never any shortage of fun activities. But the Fall and Holiday season are particularly special. So today, we’re highlighting some of our favorite Kansas City Events in November.
Crown Center Ice Terrace
November 3 – March 10
Crown Center Square
This iconic ice rink opens in just a few days and is a staple to the Kansas City community during the holiday and winter season. It’s great for a romantic date, a family outing or a group event with your office or besties. Days and hours do vary, so be sure to check their website before planning your night on the ice!
Dia De Los Muertos
November 5, 10 am – 4 pm
Nelson Atkins Museum
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a 3,000-year-old Mexican holiday that honors the spirits of loved ones who have passed on. In Mayan, Aztec and Toltec tradition, they see death as something that is natural and should be celebrated instead of mourned. It is a colorful and joyful celebration, and in Kansas City, this will be the 13th annual festival.
There will be multiple activities throughout the inside and outside of the Nelson Atkins Museum. Admissions is free, but pre-registration is encouraged.
