Welcome to The Pitch's Best of Kansas City 2024 issue! Kansas Citians cast 517,861 votes in 488 categories, selecting their favorites all around town—from best divorce lawyer to best shop pet, our pages have a home for the city's most beloved people, places, and things that made 2024, 2024 in KC.
Does this issue list every single local hero and all the good that they did this year? No chance. Is this a glimpse into the only people making a difference in our community? No way. Is it an opportunity to round up as many local figures in one place to give them each their deserved flowers? Bingo!
It has been a hell of a year and counting, so sit back, throw your readers on, and celebrate who gave 2024 their absolute best, Kansas City.
