Our 10th Anniversary Fairfax Festival was a great time for all who attended! This year, we changed up our festival and featured a 2-hour-sit-down performance with local Jazz legend Lonnie McFadden’s Quartet! We had our usual beer and wine tent, burgers, hot dogs and charcuterie. The weather was perfect and the backdrop of the Kansas and Missouri rivers with downtown KCMO was picture perfect!
Featured Video Playlist: Lonnie McFadden Lit Up the Stage!
Lonnie McFadden lit up the stage with his signature energy and showmanship. From smooth jazz to high-energy swing, his performance had the crowd smiling, clapping, and dancing along.
