Kansas City Twestival One of Over a Hundred Around the World!

The Kansas City Twestival will take place at the Tower Tavern located at 401 E 31st St. (13th & Broadway). Map

KCMO 64108. The event starts at 1800 hours (6pm).

Over 100 cities around the globe will participate in this event to raise money for Charity: Water

On our planet, 1.1 billion people do not have enough clean drinking water. (that's 1 out of every 6 of us)

All monies raised will go to support Charity: Water. Volunteers work to drill wells into the aquifirs to get freshwater.

Once the well is installed, volunteers teach villagers how to maintain and repair the well and hand pump. They also

teach sanitation and hygiene classes.


Everyone is welcome to attend. Tickets can be purchased at the Charity: Water website. Volunteers are still needed.

Food & drink sponsors are still needed. There is 1 band signed up; another is possible. Although the event is being

organized by Tweeters (Twitter), anyone is welcome to come and join in the festivities. It's a great chance to

meet some new people in KC and help some people you haven't yet met. Or maybe you know someone from

Twitter or facebook; this is your opportunity to meet them IRL!


If you don't Twitter in Kansas City, check ceck with your local Tweets to see if there is an event in your town.
