Where to Find All 101 Parade of Hearts Locations in Kansas City 2024

From lifelong area residents to fans who admire KC from afar, those with a fondness for America’s Heartland can often be recognized for (literally) wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Once again this year, the outpouring of Kansas City affection is spilling over to sidewalks and city streets across the region in brilliant fashion.

The 2024 Parade of Hearts has officially begun, bringing more than 100 towering heart sculptures to locations like the Kansas City Zoo and Lenexa City Center—and everywhere in between.

Whether you’re striking out to see every last one or simply seeking to find a few highlights in your neighborhood, here’s your guide to this one-of-a-kind arts tour across the Heart of America.


Know Before You Go

Parade of Hearts 2024 at Power and Light Kansas City

 

  • The 101 hearts will be on display through mid-August. The hearts showcase works of art from 100 artists, all with connections to Kansas City. They’re free to visit and include detailed information on each featured artist.
  • Originally worn by KC’s championship-winning Negro American League team, the Kansas City Monarchs, in the 1940s, a line of T-shirts by Charlie Hustle brought additional visibility to the KC heart design in the modern era. (Meanwhile, a partnership between the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the revived Kansas City Monarchs has brought much of the team’s iconography back to the field.)
  • All funds raised during the Parade of Hearts (through sponsorships and an auction after the sculptures finish their public display) will stay in the region and support education, small minority-owned and women-owned businesses, hospitality & tourism, health & wellness, and arts & culture via the Mid-America Regional Council, AltCap, the Visit KC Foundation, the University of Kansas Health System and stipends for individual artists.
  • Navigate your journey with the Parade of Hearts mobile app, featuring a map that’ll help you find all 101 hearts as well as artist information for each work.
