Summer often brings thoughts of sunshine, slow evenings, and a well-earned chance to exhale.

But for thousands of families across Kansas City, it also brings uncertainty. With school out, and school meal programs on pause, summer can quickly become the hungriest season for many children—and the most difficult for the families who love them.

At Kanbe’s Markets, we believe every family deserves access to fresh, nourishing food year round.

As part of our Ugly Happy Hour series, we invite you to join us at Verdigris on the first official weekend of summer, for an evening that blends conscious cocktails, community, and purpose. 

You’ll enjoy custom cocktails and canapés made with Kanbe’s rescued produce, in one of the city’s most stunning spaces. It’s a connected way to experience the work we do, while helping make it possible.

Tickets include admission, drinks, and small bites throughout the event. Additional cocktails and bites will be available after 7pm.

Tickets now live!

This is a limited, exclusive event.
