Kansas City Family Reunion Festival
Built on a tradition of quality community events
Forty Acres and a Mule, Inc. has produced many community events over the years including several years of our Gospel Under the Stars series and more recently the Juneteenth Family Festival. We recently sponsored the Kansas City Family Reunion Festival the weekend of August 6-8, 2010. A three day event designed to unite diverse cultural groups within Kansas City while celebrating all things Kansas City, events and performances were held at the 18th and Vine Jazz Distric, 40 Acres Activity Campus, and Kansas City Power and Light District. Partial funding was provided by the Neighborhood Tourism Development Fund administered by the city of Kansas City, MO. Stay tuned for more details on the 2011 festival.
