Trip the Light Fantastic Bike Ride
You may have enjoyed Jackson County’s Christmas in the Park in your vehicle. Why not tackle it on your bike? This 4.5-mile loop will take you through the full illuminated experience, but with no vehicles.
Sar-Ko-Aglow
This annual event, called Sar-Ko Aglow, takes place at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park in Lenexa. No tickets are required and the event is free (and so is parking!). The park, which is already scenic during daylight, is transformed into a series of lights adorning the outlines of buildings, trees, bridges and walkways that surround a small lake. Walk the half-mile loop as often and long as you want.
