KANSAS CITY, MO . – Organizers of Boulevardia, the two-day Kansas City urban street festival, are excited to announce the brewery lineup for its “Taps & Tastes” event on Saturday, June 20, inside the Crown Center Exhibition Hall.

This year, Taps & Tastes starts at 2 p.m. so attendees can enjoy all the music performances at the festival Saturday evening.
