We live, shop, eat, and play in beautiful Kansas City and we wouldn’t have it any other way. In celebration of our great communities, The Kansas City Star presents Kansas City Favorites. This contest is truly designed to engage the community in celebrating the places, restaurants, and local businesses we love.

​

We are proud of the voter turnout and engagement from local businesses. Kansas City Favorites had over 4,900 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing to be named in the top three spots of 270 categories.

​

Producing a contest this size takes a dedicated local team and committed businesses. They, along with all our advertisers made this possible.

​

We could not be prouder to salute and pay tribute to the great businesses that were voted the best in their individual categories. Thank you to all the folks who took the time to vote. We encourage you to explore KansasCityFavorites.com and engage with our winners. Some may be familiar, and some may be new to you. All will welcome your business. Please make sure to congratulate them for being voted Kansas City Favorites!
