816 Day B-I-N-G-O
816 Day also marks the kickoff of 816 Day B-I-N-G-O, a friendly scavenger hunt-style game that gives players a fun opportunity to explore KC from 816 Day (August 16) through 913 Day (September 13). Here’s how it works:
Pick up a bingo card at the City Market event, participating businesses, or download one at dnakcmo.org/816-day. Visit featured destinations — from restaurants and shops to public art — to collect stickers or scan QR codes. No purchase is necessary to play. Completed cards can be entered for prize drawings, including gift cards to downtown businesses and other local experiences.
