What started as a one-off event has grown into a staple for Kansas City’s creative scene — a recurring party that celebrates the people shaping its sound, style, and spirit.

Every HEAT WAV is different, but the goal stays the same: turn the city’s energy into something you can feel.

Every HEAT WAV moves on its own frequency a blur of sound, sweat, and style.

Rotating DJs, Curated Vendors, & Midwestern artists turning frequencies into movement.
Themed visuals, every detail is designed to amplify the energy.
Familiar faces and new ones too, caught in a wav of chaos. It’s a community in motion.
