Westport, Kansas City's original entertainment district, boasts a rich history as the oldest established community in Kansas City. More than 150 years ago, Westport marked the passage into the Western Frontier and set the foundation for what it is today; a thriving shopping and entertainment district that offers more than 30 restaurants, 25 bars, 15 patios, and 20+ shops & boutiques.
During your visit to Art Westport 2011, we invite you to explore this Kansas City treasure! Enjoy live entertainment, delicious fare from local eateries, shopping in fashionable boutiques, and hot night-spots all combined with the remnants of the neighborhood’s past.
