This Valentine’s weekend, whether you want to spend time with your sweetheart or just want to get out and about, there is plenty going on around Kansas City for everyone to enjoy.

For a classical taste of romance, Swan Lake makes its highly-anticipated return to Kansas City. One of the most famous ballets of all time, it tells a love story about a wicked sorcerer who captures the beautiful Princess Odette and turns her into a swan. The sorcerer’s evil spell can only be broken when a young prince pledges his love and marries her. Should he betray her, she will remain a swan forever. This memorable tale will be performed daily from Feb 14, 2020 – Feb 16, 2020 from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm at the Downtown Crossroads.

If you’re looking for a celebration of black history and culture, you should check out Storytelling on the KC Streetcar, which will be happening this weekend.
