We’re right on your way to Starlight – just check the map! Each show starts at 8 p.m., so you’ll have plenty of time to have a leisurely dinner at Stumpy’s before you need to make the 10-minute drive to the show.

So, Friday, June 3, is St. Kevin’s Day, a proper Catholic saint’s feast day (and the subject of an awesome Elders song) and not just something we like to call our Kevin. And in honor of the high holy day, we’re celebrating St. Kevin’s Day at Stumpy’s with, naturally, alcohol. And a parade.

Originally, it’s been a group of guys named Kevin who showed up for St. Kevin’s Day and they all celebrated the fact that they were named Kevin. This year, we want everyone to join us! So show up at Stumpy’s around 4 p.m. to join us for some proper St. Kevin’s Day celebrating. And when Kevin Ryan (head Kevin in chief) gives the word, we’ll form a festive parade down to the Gaf at Gregory and Wornall. And then we’ll walk back to Stumpy’s and continue celebrating.

How can you miss out on that? Correct answer: you can’t.
