Art Garden KC is excited to announce our most recent partnership with the Briarcliff Business Partner Alliance to host the official Maker's Market at this year's Briarfest X - Endless Summer - Charity Music Festival, happening August 15–16, 2025 at the scenic E.H. Young Riverfront Park in Riverside, MO!
Now celebrating its 10th year, the Briarfest Charity Music Festival has become a beloved tradition in the Northland—raising over $250,000 for local charities and creating space for music, food, and community to come together in a big way. This year, proceeds will benefit the Midwest Music Foundation, a nonprofit that unites and empowers the KC music community by providing health care assistance, education, career development, events, and resources for local musicians. 🎧💛
As a creative community dedicated to supporting artists, musicians and small businesses we couldn’t think of a better cause to support! Not only does this festival align with our mission—it also offers a great opportunity for vendors to reach a whole new audience of music lovers, families, and festivalgoers from across the Northland and beyond.
🎶 Two full days of live music, 2 stages - 17 local & national bands!
🍻 Local brews from Call Sign & Cinderblock Brewing!
🎈 Hot air balloon rides by Old World Balloon on Saturday!
