Midtown Hoedown

Our brand new event, Midtown Hoedown, is scheduled for Saturday, June 24th at Westport Commons Farm – you won’t want to miss it!

Join Cultivate KC for this community barn dance meets urban farm field with gender free dance calling by Lisa Harris-Frydman and live music by Halfsider, an old-time stringband from Lawrence and Kansas City, KS featuring Howard Rains, Tricia Spencer, Isaiah Sibi, and Rachel Krause.

NO EXPERIENCE is necessary- the dances are taught on the spot. Western wear is highly encouraged. Lively fun is mandatory!
