Briarfest X

Festival of Music, Food, Fun & Brew

Lineup • Tickets • Map • Volunteers

Briarfest is a two day Music Festival benefiting the Midwest Music Foundation and BBPA. This year we will be located in beautiful E.H. Young Riverfront Park in Riverside, Missouri on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16, 2025.

Created 10 years ago by the BBPA, this music festival has become a favorite of many Kansas Citians. A festival with a goal to be accessible to all area residents. Briarfest has raised over $250,000 for Charity and is looking to surpass that goal in the years to come! Join us for a Weekend of Music, Brews, Food and Fun!
