Artisan & Makers Market
This year the Fall Festival includes more than 75 booths packed with handmade goods, original artwork, and unique creations made by artists and makers from across the region.
You'll find ceramics, jewelry, clothing, home decor, fine art, bath products, toys, pet products and more.
Entertainment
There'll be plenty of entertainment all weekend, with performances happening across two stages in Downtown Overland Park.
Catch live bands playing everything from pop and rock to country, or stop by for one of the kid-focused acts like a puppet show or sing-along.
Thompson Park is the main stage for concerts and live music, so bring a blanket or folding chairs and settle in on the lawn.
Food & Drink
Come hungry! Along with the vendors lined up on Santa Fe Drive, there will be plenty of food and beverage options to choose from.
Grab burgers, tacos, Cuban sandwiches, loaded fries and more, then save room for something sweet like ice cream, shaved ice, kettle corn or baked treats.
You’ll also find coffee and cold drinks to keep you fueled while you explore.
Parking
During the festival weekend, give yourself a little extra time to park and make your way to the fun.
Free public parking is available throughout Downtown Overland Park, including several public parking lots and on-street spaces.
With festival activities taking over parts of downtown, be aware that some streets and parking areas may be closed or have limited access.
