Kansas City offers a wide range of festivals and events that are best enjoyed during the warmest summer months from June to August, but is a city that entertains all year long. Thanks to the city's moderate size, traffic is never really an issue, but weather tends to be extreme throughout the whole year, so be sure to always look that up when planning your trip.
