PARKING
As a courtesy to our neighbors, please refrain from parking in the New Longview shopping area as that parking area is reserved for New Longview customers. Ample parking for MCC-Longview Flights of Fancy guests will be available on the MCC-Longview campus. Parking lots will be open on the north and east sides of campus. This is a must see event and legendary free family friendly festival in the Kansas City area.
