If you need dinner tonight please consider Waldo Pizza in support of the staff at Brady & Fox.

Most of you are aware that Shaun Brady lost his life recently outside of his restaurant Brady & Fox. The restaurant has been closed since that day and we want to raise funds for his employees. 15% of Waldo Pizza's sales from Thursday 9/12/24 will be donated to Shaun's employees. Just something to help them get by until they find new employment.

As the producers of Kansas City Irish Fest and Boulevardia, we realize Washington Park, the current home of the Kansas City Irish Fest and Boulevardia, is under consideration as a possible site for a new stadium for the Royals.

We love the park, but we, too, want to see and support continued growth and vitality in the downtown area, and feel certain that city leadership would help us find new and exciting locations for these two annual entertainment traditions. In the meantime, we are getting the park ready for the best-ever Irish Fest at Crown Center and Washington Park this coming Labor Day weekend.
