The 16th Annual Holiday Swing at Union Station

Kansas City's beloved European-style holiday market is back at its original home—Union Station. For the past 16 years, The Strawberry Swing has brought together talented independent artists, makers, and small businesses from across the Midwest. You'll find the outdoor market filled with handmade gifts, twinkling lights, festive music, and that warm, cozy holiday atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional European Christmas market. It's a great chance to shop thoughtfully for one-of-a-kind presents while supporting local creators. Grab your family and bundle up for a festive outing in the Haverty Family Yards at Union Station. Browse curated local and regional vendors, enjoy seasonal food and drinks, and soak in the holiday magic at this Kansas City tradition. Best of all, admission is completely free and the event welcomes families. Plan to spend a couple hours wandering the market, chatting with makers about their work, and taking in the seasonal spirit right in the heart of the city.
