KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs will take their annual Season Ticket Member Draft Fest, presented by Branson Lakes Area, on the road in 2025 with parties at both Kansas City-area Chicken N Pickle locations on Friday, April 25.
The free event – already sold out at both locations – is available exclusively to Season Ticket Members who secured their tickets in advance. It will feature a variety of family-friendly activities, on-stage programming, a DJ, and the NFL Draft television broadcast. Doors at both locations will open at 6 p.m., and the event is scheduled to conclude after the Chiefs make their first pick of the third round (66th overall). Guests are welcome to stay at either Chicken N Pickle location for the remainder of Friday’s Draft coverage.
Kansas City Ambassador Shawn Barber will lead the entertainment and stage program at Chicken N Pickle Overland Park, while Ambassador Danan Hughes will host at Chicken N Pickle North Kansas City. The 2025 Chiefs Hall of Fame inductee – who will be announced earlier in the day on Friday – will make an appearance at both locations Friday evening, with additional special guests planned. Complimentary light snacks, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served throughout the evening.
These events are primarily outdoors and are subject to weather conditions. Plans may be modified or cancelled in the event of inclement weather. Any necessary updates will be communicated leading up to and during the event. Season Ticket Members who secured tickets to attend Draft Fest should monitor their emails and text messages for updates.
The club’s media partners – including KSHB and 96.5 The Fan – will be on-site at the Overland Park location, while Tico Sports will be on-site at the North Kansas City Chicken N Pickle. Bud Light, Midwest Ford Dealers, and CPKC are the associate partners of Draft Fest, while Branson Lakes Area and All Copy Products will have on-site partner activations. There will also be appearances by the Chiefs Cheerleaders, KC Wolf, and Chiefs Rumble.
