Farm Fest at Common Ground is a FREE community event held on-farm at
KC Farm School’s 14-acre urban farm in KCK.
Farm Fest unites our wonderful Kansas City community by offering opportunities to learn about local food, resources, our environment and ways to mobilize for community action.

We hosted our first-ever Farm Fest in 2021 and over 400 people showed up.
In 2022, we met 700 of you!
We hope to see you this year!
If you’re able, please donate to the mission.

How to get to Farm Fest

The address of Common Ground is 2443 S. 42nd Street, KCKS, 66106.

Because FARM FEST is a BLOCK PARTY, the road will be closed between Gibbs and Dodson.
Navigate to Shawnee Drive and South 42nd St. and look for signs directing you to park at a nearby church parking lot or in our dear neighbor Charlie’s field. It's a short walk up the hill to the entrance- and we'll have two shuttles moving people back and forth. We do have limited but accessible parking at Gibbs Road Farm but most of the activity will be happening at Common Ground.

Please take a look at the map. It will guide you to FARM FEST.
