Rhythm & Ribs Jazz Festival - Located in KC’s historic 18th and Vine district.

Rhythm & Ribs Jazz Festival | June 17-19

Catch hep cats fakin’ and swappin’ fours. Dig KC ‘Que so good it’s gone. Don’t cost much bread. Take five Daddy-o’s Day weekend and make the scene; slow-cooked, served family-style. Cool.

(Non-hep cat translation)

See some of the world’s finest musicians as they improvise and trade solos. Enjoy KC barbeque so delicious it’s…delicious. All for a great price! Do swing by Father’s Day weekend, and bring the kids for plenty of family-style fun. Very good.

You’ll find it all at the new Rhythm & Ribs Jazz Festival. Located in KC’s historic 18th and Vine district, Rhythm & Ribs combines two of Kansas City’s most unique traditions—jazz and barbecue—into a 3-day street fair-style event offering:
