Kansas City Mom Collective’s Hanging with Heroes event is just around the corner, and you don’t want to miss the super-sized fun! This FREE event on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Zona Rosa takes place from 9 a.m. – noon and invites heroes big and small to gather together to make our community a better one. We are thrilled to have Oakhill Day School as our title sponsor!
Here are 5 Reasons to Attend Hanging With Heroes
5. We’re Giving Back
Kansas City is full of many wonderful organizations that care for the children of Kansas City, and we’re excited for our attendees to help out Feed Northland Kids. Feed Northland Kids fights food insecurity by providing our community’s children the nourishment to grow, learn and thrive.
Remember, this event is FREE but please bring a box of granola bars, cereal bars or protein bars for Feed Northland Kids pantries.
4. A Morning Full Of Fun
The fun doesn’t stop from the moment you enter Hanging With Heroes to the moment you leave. Our amazing sponsors will be hosting fun superhero training, hero games, arts and crafts, photo booths and more. DJ Miles will keep the tunes going for some pretty epic dance-offs and your kids will have a blast playing in Zona Rosa’s playground and fountain. Breakfast and speciality lemonades will be available for purchase at Bravo Italian Kitchen and Moore Lemonade.
3. The Community Heroes
It’s not every day your child gets to climb into an emergency vehicle or rub elbows with the women and men who keep our communities safe. Come visit the KCMO Fire Department and the KCMO Police Department. Meet those who make a difference in our community, and check out their awesome vehicles. New this year, you’ll get a chance to meet some furry heroes and their owners from Pets for Life, Kansas City’s premier pet therapy organization
2. The Photo Ops
Make sure your photo is fully charged because you’ll want to capture the thrill and delight of your little one when they meet some of their favorites! We want to thank Fry Orthodontic Specialists for being our Photo Stop Sponsor. Look for the fun balloon installations from Balloonista!
1. The Superheroes
Our friends at Planet Anime Kansas City and Just-Us League have called up some of their famous friends, and your family will have a chance to meet these caped crusaders! Kids and kids at heart will be so excited to meet superheroes like Spiderman, Captain America, Raven, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Daisy and Luigi and Halo troopers! Don’t miss out on stopping by Planet Anime Kansas City’s booth for your chance to win a family four-pack of tickets to Planet Comicon March 27-29, 2026.
