The Bird Lives! Take 3: 3rd Annual Tribute to Charlie “Yardbird” Parker

The spirit of jazz will soar over Big Eleven Lake Park on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, as the community comes together for “The Bird Lives! Take 3”—a vibrant outdoor celebration of Kansas City's own Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.

This free festival honors Parker’s enduring legacy with live music, family fun, and great food in a lively lakeside setting.

🎶 Musical LineupThe evening features performances by two local bands, a dynamic vocalist, and a DJ spinning smooth sounds before and after the main acts—keeping the groove going all night long.

🎨 Family-Friendly FunYounger guests will enjoy a giant golden saxophone photo op, bounce house, games, face painting, spin art, and the splash park to beat the summer heat.

🍽️ Food & CommunityCome hungry! Top-rated local vendors will be serving tasty eats and refreshing drinks—or feel free to bring your own picnic. You’ll also have the chance to connect with local nonprofit organizations sharing information and resources.

Let’s celebrate the genius of Yardbird and the heart of our community—music, joy, and togetherness by the lake.
