DJ Requiem is taking over Rose Music Hall in Columbia, MO on Sunday, June 14, and Kid Disco! Mess Fest at Rose Park is exactly what it sounds like — a high-energy, sensory-packed afternoon built for kids who want to dance, get weird, and go absolutely feral to a live DJ set. Showtime is 2:30 PM CT, so start planning now.
Getting There
Before you head out, keep in mind there’s a slight chance of rain showers — roughly 20% — for the day. The event itself is indoors at Rose Music Hall, so once you’re inside you’re good, but the walk from your parking spot to the door could get you a little damp. Downtown Columbia has street parking and nearby lots; give yourself an extra 10–15 minutes for the walk-in, especially if you’re corralling kids and carrying a bag. A quick umbrella dash is the worst of it.
The Show
DJ Requiem behind the decks means the energy is going to be loud and relentless from the jump. Kid Disco! events are designed to hit that sweet spot where parents are entertained and kids are absolutely losing it on the dance floor. If your little one has a dance floor anthem, there’s a real chance it shows up in the set.
What to Wear
The “Mess Fest” in the name is a heads-up: put the kids in something expendable. Old play clothes or a backup outfit in the bag are both smart moves. Adults, note that Rose Music Hall runs air conditioning — once the dancing slows and you’re sitting still, it can get cool fast. A light layer stuffed in your bag is worth it.
Practical Tips
- Showtime: 2:30 PM CT, Sunday June 14
- Venue: Rose Music Hall, Columbia, MO
- Arrive early — families with young kids benefit from a few extra minutes to get settled before things kick off
- Dress for mess — old clothes for the kids; light layer for adults once the AC kicks in
- Check the bag policy — most indoor venues have size or item restrictions; review Rose Music Hall’s guidelines before packing
- Noise-reducing earplugs — worth tossing in the bag for sound-sensitive kids; DJ sets get loud
Get there a little early, let the kids pick their spot on the floor, and let DJ Requiem handle the rest.
