MCC-Penn Valley’s annual fundraiser is transforming into Penn Palooza — a lively, block party-style celebration filled with live music, art, food and community.
Penn Palooza will feature a dynamic lineup of local musicians and performers representing a variety of musical genres, showcasing the incredible talent of Kansas City.
This is a FREE event. Guests can explore artwork on display in the Carter Art Center Gallery and connect with local community partners who will be on site throughout the event.
Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels, with proceeds supporting MCC–Penn Valley student activities, programs and scholarships.
