⛲️ Prime Time

Grand Opening Reveal: A video released yesterday featuring Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce announced that 1587 Prime would officially open on Wednesday, September 17th, which also happens to be Mahomes’ 30th birthday. The Chiefs duo + restaurant partners expressed that “something special” was coming to Kansas City and that “this city’s gonna love it”.

Touchdown Dining: 1587 Prime will be located at 1500 Baltimore Ave., spanning two floors inside the Loews Kansas City Hotel. The restaurant will feature luxury finishes, “multi-sensory dining aspects”, and subtle nods to Mahomes’ and Kelce’s careers. And before you ask: no, we don’t know the prices yet.

Artists at Work: This free, one-day event offers a rare glimpse into the artistic passions of Hallmark employees and retirees. Outside of their day jobs, these talented individuals pursue a wide range of creative endeavors from painting and pottery to jewelry, textiles, and more. At Hallmarket, you’ll have the chance to meet the artists, explore their work, and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces to take home.

Art & More: But Hallmarket is more than just an art fair. It’s a full-day experience filled with live music, local food, and activities for all ages. 

Best of all? Admission is free. So, come experience the heart and soul of Hallmark through the eyes of the artists who help shape its magic.
