Each year, the Kansas City community nominates and votes for businesses in The Pitch‘s Best of KC awards. The local magazine covers all things arts, music, food, and culture in Kansas City, and has a special connection to Westport – it was founded in the basement of a Westport record shop in 1980!
Thanks to the voters, we are pleased to announce that many of Westport’s locally owned businesses won a combined total of 23 awards! We have proudly listed the Westport winners below.
