Seasonal Merriam

Seasonally-Merriam.jpg
Merriam is nourished by nature and steeped in sunshine throughout most of the year. We are home to four true seasons with only 34 inches of annual rainfall. Over 2,700 hours of sunshine per year make Merriam a great city to visit and explore year-round. Check out these seasonal offerings across Merriam!
 
SPRING
  • The Heartland Artist Exhibition is a juried show on display throughout March at the Tim Murphy Art Gallery. The exhibition features talented artists from around the U.S. 
  • Hop over to the Merriam Community Center for the Easter Bunny Egg Hunt for springtime games, a visit with the Easter Bunny and the popular egg hunt. 

More in the metro: Catch a Sporting KC game, visit the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and don't forget to sample that KC barbecue!

FALL
  • Car people unite at the annual Turkey Creek Car & Motorcycle Show. Always on the second Saturday in September, and always packed full of snazzy cars and cycles on display.
