What's Happening Around Town

Between the Truman Library, our historic downtown, the state-of-the-art Cable Dahmer Arena, and everything in between, there’s always something fun to do in Independence. Please consider yourself especially invited to one of the many events that keep us bustling year-round. And check back often, because our event calendar is always being updated.
