We can’t imagine a holiday season without visiting our favorite Christmas light displays. After all, it’s part of the spirit of the season to go around and spread cheer! If you’ve never been to Overland Park Arboretum’s Luminary Walk before, it’s one Christmas tradition you’ll want to do every year from here on out. The more Christmas traditions in Kansas you collect, the merrier. At least, we think so!
Around the holidays, Overland Park Arboretum gets a little more festive than usual, stringing up thousands of lights.

If you’ve never had the pleasure to walk through a park strung with holiday lights, you shouldn’t miss out on this one either. Each overhang, tree, and bush with lights is work done by volunteers at this gorgeous park.

Along the way, there’s plenty of great spots for holiday photos, which make great Christmas cards, if we’re honest.

One of our favorite spots is the candlelit waterfall, a perfect scene that we could watch for hours if it weren’t so cold.
