The annual Celebration at the Station will be held at Union Station on Sunday, May 26. The FREE outdoor concert featuring the Kansas City Symphony starts at 8 p.m. between Union Station and Liberty Memorial. The fireworks display begins after the concert.

From 5 p.m. until the start of the concert, Main St. MAX will increase its service, operating every 15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes between the Waldo Park-and-Ride and the 3rd & Grand Park-and-Ride. The first additional southbound MAX bus from 3rd & Grand will begin at 5:54 p.m. After the fireworks display, MAX buses will be waiting to serve concertgoers on the return trip.
