RAYMORE, MO – This spring and summer, our community will be part of Parade of Hearts, a regionwide public art experience bringing visitors from across the heartland and beyond. The City of Raymore invites local businesses to participate through digital promotions featured in the official Parade of Hearts regional tourism platform for free.
Promotions are special offers designed for Parade of Heart visitors, such as:
- Discounts or special pricing
- Giveaways or limited-time offers
- Parade of Hearts themed specials
Promotions will be displayed on the digital platform between April and September 2026 and will go live when it launches to the public on Monday, April 6. Businesses can offer multiple promotions during this time period, but only one promotion can be active at a time.
Why participate? Raymore businesses can reach new visitors during a high profile regional tourism event, increase foot traffic and awareness through the Parade of Hearts season and align your business with a celebrated arts and culture initiative. The previous iteration of the Parade of Hearts platform had over 2.4 million mobile check-ins. Take advantage of this opportunity to welcome visitors and join us in showcasing the businesses that make our community special!
