“The property bordering our City Hall on Mission Road creates a natural amphitheater which is an ideal site for The Prairie Village Jazz Festival” said Prairie Village Mayor, Ron Shaffer.
Food and beverages (including alcohol) will be available for purchase at the festival. No food or drinks, pets or outdoor flame is allowed at the event. Parking is available at the Shawnee Mission East High School parking lot, the Aquatic Center parking lot and the Mission Bible Church parking Lot.
