American Royal's New Campus Kicks Off with Fall Events

0:00The American Royal is firing up its new campus in Kansas City, Kansas, near 118th Street and State Avenue, with events kicking off. This September, they're owning the spot outright, and the first big one hits September 12th and 13th, with the Royal Showcase horse show. Right after that, the World Series of Barbecue Rolls-In from September 30th through October 4th, followed by the Fall livestock show from October 9th to October 25th. Five livestock barns and an exhibition hall are set to be ready just in time for these. Folks behind the scenes are hyped, calling it a major milestone after more than a century and a quarter of tradition. This move builds on their legacy, giving them space to grow while keeping the community vibe alive. Construction's still underway, but they're easing into it with these fall events, and more buildings are on deck for later phases. By 2029, they plan to fully shift everything over, launching the next era for this Kansas City staple, as the campus keeps expanding.
