This year, one of Kansas City’s biggest talents will help “flip the switch” to shine thousands of lights on the Plaza.
Rapper Tech N9ne is set to not only flip the switch but also perform at the Plaza Lighting Ceremony.
“I remember as a 12- or 13-year-old, I would travel down to the Plaza with friends to witness the Lighting Ceremony on Thanksgiving evening but could never get close enough to see anything due to the large amount of spectators,” Tech N9ne said in a release.
“Back then, this kid on 5816 Forest would’ve never believed that he’d be part of that huge ceremony one day and now look. It’s such an honor to be the one to give light this year. I’m excited!”
