The last three-day weekend of the summer has come and gone, the weather is cooling down and pumpkin flavored everything has hit store shelves- it’s almost officially fall!
Besides the return of everything pumpkin spice flavored, we’re excited for so many fun fall events in Kansas City: the return of Chief’s football, fall festivals and concerts, outdoor fall weddings, apple picking, and so much more! Kansas City is a wonderful place to enjoy one of America’s most beloved seasons and for good reason; there’s always something to do and enjoy in the Heartland!
All of the events above are made better by booking a transportation service. Keep reading for a list of fall happenings in Kansas City and how you can “fall” in love with booking a transportation service this autumn!
Outdoor Festivals
One of the best things about fall is the beautiful weather it brings; there’s a crispness in the air that makes getting outside so refreshing! The Greater Kansas City Area always has outdoor events in the fall, allowing you to enjoy the weather and exciting events with your loved ones. Below are a few of our favorite local outdoor festivals and events:
KC Oktoberfest
Kansas City Renaissance Festival
Weston Applefest
Although fall usually brings beautiful weather, every Missourian knows how unpredictable our weather can be. Regardless of what is forecasted, it sometimes does the opposite. A fall day in Kansas City can mean a high of eighty degrees with sunshine or fifty degrees with heavy rain – you just never know what the day or night will bring.
Booking special event transportation through a chauffeured transportation service means you don’t have to worry about walking long distances through the crowds and parking lots to find your vehicle during heavy rains or cold weather – you’ll be dropped off and picked up at an easy-to-find, close location so you can avoid being stuck outside.
Fall Weddings
When you’re wedding planning, chances are you’ll hear about how some things are bound to go wrong. The caterer runs behind, your DJ doesn’t play the right songs, it’s raining when your wedding is outdoors – whatever the case may be, you can’t plan everything to go just right months in advance.
In the event you are having an outdoor wedding, again, the weather in Kansas City is extremely unpredictable, which can put a damper on your outdoor plans. Booking wedding transportation through a chauffeured transportation service can help keep you dry – we’ll transport you to and from your ceremony and reception locations and will pick you up and drop you off as close as we can get. We’ll also help keep you dry by providing umbrellas and ensuring the bride and her dress stay dry as a bone! In addition to keeping you dry on your wedding day in the event of bad weather, we’ll also get you to and from each location in a timely manner so you don’t keep your guests waiting, regardless of how bad the weather is.
We can also provide extra amenities like bottled water, champagne, mints, etc. to make your day extra special and worry free.
Fall Concerts
We all know that summer is full of outdoor concerts, but fall can be just as exciting a season to have outdoor concerts! The weather is cooler which means less sweating in large crowds and there are usually some great performers that visit Kansas City in the fall. Here’s a list of some upcoming fall concerts:
9/24- Ben Folds at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts
9/29- Lynyrd Skynyrd at Intrust Bank Arena
10/4- Sting with Shaggy- Arvest Bank Theatre
10/13- Ed Sheeran at Arrowhead
10/16- Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper at Sprint Center
10/18- Fleetwood Mac at Sprint Center
10/27- Rick Springfield at Ameristar Casino Hotel
10/28- Goo Goo Dolls at Uptown Theater
Booking a chauffeured transportation service can only enhance your concert experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying the concert with your friends and helping you avoid heavy traffic and parking. You can also enjoy drinks on the way, during and after the concert and don’t have to have a designated driver in your group!
Sporting Events
We’re so fortunate to have major league sports teams that call Kansas City home! While the Royals only have the rest of September to play in the 2018 season, our Chiefs are just getting started for their 2018-2019 season!
There’s nothing more exciting than attending a home game with your cheering squad doing the Tomahawk chop after they score a touchdown! What makes the experience even better is booking transportation through Overland so you can focus on cheering on our team instead of dealing with the congested traffic the games attract and finding parking. If you’ve ever attended a game or other event at Arrowhead, then you know how much of a nightmare parking can be! You could end up walking across the parking lot in a massive crowd through rain or snow – how awful does that sound? Overland will pick you up right outside the stadium so you can avoid the large crowds and bad weather!
If you plan on attending any outdoor festivals, concerts, sporting events, or weddings this fall, make them even more enjoyable by booking chauffeured transportation service through Overland. We provide wedding transportation, special event transportation and so much more! Our fleet includes the perfect vehicle for your outing whether you’re solo or have a large group. We promise to enhance your experience and to keep you warm and dry when we drop you off and pick you up from your event!
