Plaza Branch and Central Library will open late at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17 due to the Kansas City Marathon.
Gather among the graves for FrankenWines, a truly terrifying storytelling event co-presented by Young Friends of the Kansas City Public Library and Union Cemetery Historical Society of Kansas City.
A few weeks before All Hallows’ Eve, sit a spell in the dark of night at the historic Union Cemetery. Kansas City’s oldest public cemetery is the final resting place of 55,000 souls, including many of the city’s founders, as well as notable politicians, artists, entrepreneurs, veterans, and everyday residents.
This year’s stories embody the spirit of the unknown, so take care to keep your wits about you. The air itself vibrates with an energy that’s spine-chilling, suspenseful, creepy, and cryptic.
What you can't see can frighten you the most.
Each $20 ticket includes a sweet treat and a boozy and/or non-alcoholic beverage. All attendees must be at least 21 years old.
Seating is offered in a designated grassy area on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring your own blankets and chairs.
Co-presented by Young Friends of the Kansas City Public Library and Union Cemetery Historical Society of Kansas City.
