Hat

1035 Moro St

Manhattan, KS 66502

Located in the Aggieville district near Kansas State University, the venue sits within Manhattan’s most active dining and nightlife area. It’s approximately two hours from Kansas City, MO, making it a convenient regional destination for live music.

• Parking: Parking is available throughout Aggieville, including nearby street spaces and public lots.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options; local bus service operates in Manhattan.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff is available throughout Aggieville near the main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially for popular touring artists and weekend dates. Early arrival helps you secure convenient parking in Aggieville’s public lots or nearby street spaces and makes entry smoother.

Hat is an indoor venue, so weather is generally not a concern once you’re inside. That said, Aggieville can get lively on show nights; building in a little extra time gives you flexibility to grab a quick bite or meet friends along Moro St before doors open.

If you’re using rideshare, set your pickup and dropoff along the Aggieville corridors to avoid congestion right at the venue entrance. For drivers, note the street signage for any time-limited or permit-only parking, and consider public lots for longer stays.

Venue Navigation

Aggieville is compact and walkable, with minimal elevation and easy routes to and from the venue. Once you’re inside, follow posted signage and staff directions for entrances, exits, and amenities to keep lines moving and get to your preferred spot quickly.

With the district’s busy nightlife, it’s a good idea to wear comfortable footwear in case you’re standing during the show or walking between nearby restaurants and bars. Keep your mobile ticket handy at the entrance for smooth scanning.

Pre-Event Planning

Leverage Aggieville’s dining and nightlife to elevate your concert night. Grab a casual meal or coffee along Moro St, meet up with your group at a landmark spot, and head over together when doors open.

If you’re coordinating with friends, share tickets and pickup points in advance, and set a Plan B meetup location in case the group gets separated. For drivers, consider one of the public lots for longer shows and post-event hangouts; rideshare is a convenient option if you plan to stay late.

Finally, keep an eye on the event listing for set times and any updates. A little planning goes a long way toward catching the opener and maximizing your time in the venue and around Aggieville.
