The Early Bird Catches The Great View

Crowds normally start rolling in around 6 p.m. so plan to arrive early! Picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and coolers are welcome but pop-up tents are not allowed.

Get Some Wheels

To get the best viewing spot you might have to trek through the grass, so bring a wagon or something with wheels to help you carry everything.

Hydrate and Stay Cool

July in Overland Park can be scorching. Make sure to dress in cool clothing, wear sunscreen before the sun goes down (don't forget the bug spray too!), and stay well hydrated. You have a long, fun night ahead! Pack water, juice, and plenty of ice. Alcohol is not allowed.

Have Patience

After the awesome show, wait about 20 minutes before leaving. Traffic can happen, so please have patience.
