By Clarisa | Published November 06, 2019

Christmastime in Kansas means family get-togethers, celebrating in our own odd ways, and small towns full of lights and wonderful sounds. When you want a great place to visit during the holidays without leaving the state, why not look for one of the best main streets in the country? It’s not a holiday overload, but it’s something you’ll never forget.

Welcome to the historic town of Dodge City, somewhere that's been a hubbub of activity since the days of the West.

Around Christmastime, you'll find that the main street in Old Dodge City is decorated to the nines with holiday decor.

Walking up and down the road, you'll feel like two time periods have come together, as you hear the noise of happy holiday people and see all of these sparkling lights over old storefronts from times long past.

Visitors can even get their photo taken with Santa, if you arrive during Santa's allotted visit.

The rest of the town is well decorated, and going from shop to shop to see it all is part of the fun!

The first lighting is held on the first Monday after Thanksgiving, where they light up the mayor's tree and celebrate the start of the season.

If you find yourself looking for holiday travel ideas, think local first! Dodge City is always a good time.
