Stroll through Brookside, sip a variety of seltzer samples in-store, and check out specials and events at participating businesses, Tuesday, June 21st from 5 to 7pm. The Summer Solstice, Sip, Shop & Stroll coincides with the Summer Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year.

While visiting, be sure to meet local store owners, and enjoy in-store specials and activities from incredible discounts to water balloon fights.

Each year an artist is selected to prepare featured artwork that will represent the Brookside Art Annual. The 2022 features artist is returning artist Jennifer Cavan of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Jennifer is a crowd favorite and was a 2021 Drawing & Pastel category award winner. Her oil pastels are bright, vibrant and captivating. Although the 2022 artwork isn’t of a rural Missouri or Kansas skyline, the timeless night scene draws you into what many could easily envision as home.
The wintery mix was jeopardizing our fun, so we've postponed the 2022 Brookside St. Patrick’s Warm-Up Parade to Saturday, March 19th at 1pm. After two years of canceling the parade, we just couldn't bear the thought of canceling for a 3rd year. You could say we didn't feel the Luck of the Irish coming for March 12th, so we're creating our own and moving to the 19th at 1pm. It's a new date and time, but the other details haven't changed. We'll be in the same location with the same route, and the same great family fun at 1 pm, Saturday, March 19th. Click for updated details, maps and other information.
