Mayor's Holiday Festival

Kick off the holiday season with your family at the Mayor's Holiday Festival in downtown Overland Park. The evening begins with a festive tree lighting ceremony, followed by hours of holiday fun for everyone. Kids can meet Santa and the Grinch, snap photos with princesses and superheroes, enjoy live music, and take a train ride through the area. There's also a makers market, food trucks, and free arts and crafts activities to explore. Best of all, admission is completely free, so you can enjoy as much or as little as you'd like. Whether your family wants to catch the whole event or pop in for a few activities, this is a great way to get into the holiday spirit together without breaking the budget. Bring the kids ready to have fun—there's plenty to keep everyone entertained throughout the evening.
