KCMC Hosts Fourth Annual Hanging With Heroes Event

Superheroes took over Zona Rosa’s Central Park on a beautiful fall morning for the fourth annual Kansas City Mom Collective Hanging with Heroes! We want to thank Oakhill Day School for being the title sponsor of this SUPER event.

A hero-worthy balloon installation from Balloonista made the perfect backdrop for kids to pose for photos with their favorite superheroes at a photo stop sponsored by Fry Orthodontics. Together with our amazing activity sponsors, they helped make this event truly come to life.

Our friends at Just-Us League and Planet Anime Kansas City invited their superhero and pop culture posse to the event. Kids were thrilled to come face-to-face with heroes like Spiderman, Ghost-Spider, Captain America, Superman, Rogue, Rumi, Miraculous, Snow White and many more! 

Community heroes from the Kansas City Fire Department and Kansas City Police Department were on hand to answer questions and let kids hop into their vehicles and check them out. Kids even meet some furry heroes from Pets for Life including several very good dogs, and an giant rabbit, named Voodoo!

Kids in attendance brought in food donations to benefit Feed Northland Kids.

Our attendees took part in games and activities that had them training as superheroes with an obstacle course, creating their own masks, testing their strength and defeating villains.

Zona Rosa’s Central Park was the perfect location to play and giggle your way through the fountain, play on the playground and splash in the puddles while enjoying superhero fuel from Bravo Italian Kitchen and superhero-themed lemonades from Moore Lemonade. Kids also danced with tunes from DJ Miles.

We had an absolute blast with all of you and can’t wait to see you all again at Hanging With Heroes 2026!

Madison Ediger
Madison has lived in the Kansas City metro her whole life (Waldo, Olathe & Overland Park) except for a few years of small-town life in Newton, Kansas. She currently resides near Downtown Overland Park with her husband of thirteen years, Jeremy, outgoing daughter, Avery (8), and two cuddly, very mixed-breed dogs, Merry and Willow. Madison has degrees from both KU and MU, but she roots for the Jayhawks (except when she is Wabashing with her K-Stater husband). A former public librarian and marketing professional, Madison recently quit her full-time job to focus on health and family. Now she spends her time writing freelance, listening to audiobooks and attempting to organize the storage room once and for all. She’s a sucker for themed events, road trips and cookbooks. She and her family visit Disney Parks multiple times a year and love all things Disney. Her bucket list includes visits to all of the U.S. National Parks (18 down, 45 to go!).
