KANSAS CITY, MO, UNITED STATES, July 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Calling all dog lovers! The West Bottoms is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated event, Barks in the Bottoms, set to take place during the First Friday Weekend, from August 4 to August 6. This special occasion promises a tail-wagging shopping experience and a wide array of delicious food trucks and bars, all with the added joy of having furry companions alongside.
With a reputation for hosting spectacular events, the West Bottoms is all set to welcome pet owners and their adorable pooches for a weekend filled with fun exchanges with fellow shoppers and furry friends. This one-of-a-kind event will bring together vintage enthusiasts, antique collectors, home decor aficionados, and gift seekers in a vibrant atmosphere.
At Barks in the Bottoms, visitors will have the opportunity to explore an extensive selection of handpicked vintage and antique treasures and stylish decor and gifts, all neatly showcased by the local shops of the West Bottoms. Whether visitors are searching for a unique statement piece for their homes or a thoughtful present for a loved one, this event has something that helps shoppers choose items that best fit their style versus mass-produced items.
The Festival of the Full Moon on the streets, where visitors navigate between stores along the 12th Street Bridge in the West Bottoms, include food trucks, selfie displays, and pup water stations and treats alongside the bars to quench the thirst for visitors and their canine companions.
“Barks in the Bottoms is a popular annual event where shoppers further bond with their pups as they shop and meet others for a fun shopping experience." said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, spokesperson for the West Bottoms Historic District.
