Swope Park on Sundays in Kansas City is a great time for African Americans to congregate. The time is filled with great food, the finest cars, music beating everywhere, and nicely dressed men and women.
The video below shows Black Kansas City, the part that is not promoted but definitely worthwhile if you want to go to a free event and meet new people.

Swope Park is the 29th largest municipal park in the United States. It is named in honor of Colonel Thomas H. Swope, a philanthropist who donated the land to the city in 1896. In the 1,769 acres, it hosts Starlight Theatre (a 8,000+ seat outdoor theater, also the temporary home of the annual Jewel Ball), the Kansas City Zoological Park, two golf courses, ten shelter houses and a host of other things, including baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a swimming pool, and a frisbee golf course.
