Real winter wonderlands are a month or so away for most of us, but why not celebrate after Thanksgiving with a winter walk of your own? These amazing lights at this park in Lee’s Summit are sure to fill you with holiday cheer that’ll last you the rest of the year. Most people might not want to head outside when it’s getting cold, but with a hot mug of cocoa, you’re sure to stay warm enough for this short walk in the park.
Every year, Christmas in the Park happens at Longview Park in Lee's Summit. It's a place where people of all ages can enjoy the magic of the holidays and find their Christmas cheer.
Walking through these lights is a tradition for many.
It's open nightly until New Year's Eve on Sundays through Thursdays from 5:30 - 10:00 pm, and Fridays & Saturdays from 5:30 - 11:00 pm. It is free to enter, but they do appreciate donations, which go to more than 35 area charities. They've raised more than $1 million over the years for local charities!

Jackson County has been making magic happen for 30 years now, and they show no sign of stopping!
Christmas celebrations really aren't complete until you've toured this amazing attraction, where you're free to stroll the night away with family and friends.
All thanks to Jackson County! They volunteer so many hours each year just to make sure the cheer is passed along another year.
