KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – The Parade of Hearts is back after a one-year hiatus!
The popular art display will feature artwork from 150 ‘heartists.’
Before they are installed across the Kansas City area, the public will have one opportunity to see all 150 hearts together during the “150 United” event at the Overland Park Convention Center.

The event will take place on April 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets will go on sale Thursday morning. Parade of Hearts organizers said they anticipate another sellout.
The 2026 installation will debut a newly redesigned heart sculpture, nearly a foot taller and wider than previous versions, according to organizers.
The annual display took the year off in 2025 to gear up for 2026, which will bring the World Cup to Kansas City.

Later this year, the sculptures will be installed across seven Kansas City-area counties on both sides of the state line.
