Language Access Festival Hosted by City

Kansas City invites the community to celebrate inclusivity and accessibility at the Language Access Festival hosted by the Office of Language Access (OLA) on Saturday, October 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Northeast High School.

This family friendly event will allow residents to familiarize themselves with OLA services and connect with resources across City departments. The event will feature cultural performances, presentations, and outdoor activities.

Kansas City is proud to celebrate the one-year anniversary of OLA, a milestone made possible through collaboration between OLA, elected officials, executive leadership, community partners and all City departments. Together, OLA is advancing the City's commitment to expanding language access services to everyone.
