Children’s Art Carnival Benefiting Children’s Mercy Hospital

Get ready for a fun-filled Children’s Art Carnival that brings art, family and community together — all for a great cause! Rochester Crossroads is thrilled to host a free Children’s Art Carnival as part of Make a Difference May, and you’re invited to join the celebration.
This family-friendly event will take place at Rochester Crossroads and promises a colorful day of laughter, creativity and giving back. Enjoy an array of treats and fun including snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, games, prizes, balloon animals, photo booth and more. It’s a perfect outing for families looking to create lasting memories, enjoy and encourage children’s artwork and support an amazing mission.
One of the highlights of the event will be a special exhibit featuring artwork from the talented young artists of Children’s Mercy Hospital. These incredible pieces reflect not only creativity but the courage and hope of the children behind them. In addition, several pop-up artists will be on site showcasing and selling their artwork — with all proceeds directly benefiting Children’s Mercy Hospital.
Children’s Mercy is a leading pediatric hospital in Kansas City dedicated to transforming children’s lives through exceptional care, research and education. As part of Make a Difference May, this event aims to support the hospital’s mission by raising awareness and funds that contribute to the life-changing work they do every day for kids and their families.
Rochester Crossroads will also be offering a special kid-friendly menu of fresh-flavored limeades and lemonades, available exclusively for the Children’s Art Carnival — a refreshing treat perfect for a sunny spring day! And of course, our full menu of handcrafted coffee beverages, craft beer, food and pastries will also be available throughout the event.
Whether you come to the Children’s Art Carnival for the art, the treats or the fun and games, this is your chance to make a real impact. Your presence helps shine a light on the power of creativity and the importance of community support for those who need it most.
Join us at Rochester Crossroads for the Children’s Art Carnival — where fun meets purpose! Let’s make a difference together.

Rochester Brewing and Roasting is Kansas City’s first craft beer brewery and coffee roastery under one roof. We’ve created welcoming spaces to gather for the best of both worlds – a Kansas City brewery and Kansas City coffee shop – all in one place. Our head coffee roaster sources the best quality coffee beans, roasting each batch meticulously to bring out the coffee’s unique character. Our head brewer blends the art and science behind brewing beer to create a rotating slate of beer styles, focusing on tradition with an eye on innovation. You can find local KC coffee beans for sale here, and our current beer tap list online.
We would love to see you in person to pour you a cold one or whip up one of our popular specialty coffees. We also have a rotating menu of delicious sandwiches, breakfast burritos and fresh-made-in-house pastries and donuts. Stop by our spacious Kansas City brewery and coffee shop, located in the city’s vibrant Crossroads Art District. Or check out our charming Parkville coffee shop and brewery, located inside two vintage train cars. We also host public and private events at the Crossroads location ~ details on our spacious Kansas City event space can be found on our website. Both locations are open day and night, so come early for the coffee, stay late for the beer!
