The Tiny Kansas Town That Transforms Into A Watermelon Wonderland Each Year
Do you know what flavor is so associated with summer that you can hardly escape it? Watermelon, of course! There’s nothing more refreshing that some cool watermelon on a hot day. This tiny town in eastern Kansas loves it so much that they have created an entire festival that becomes a watermelon wonderland every year. Do you love it enough to visit this town and celebrate with them? Let’s take a look at what they’ve got this year.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

On August 24th and 25th of 2018, enjoy a small town watermelon festival like no other. It happens every year in August, so if you can't make it this year, make sure to mark your calendars to stop by next time.
They have plenty of live music, vendors, drawings, all sorts of sports tournaments for all ages, a watermelon eating contest, a pin-up contest, car show, and of course, free watermelon!
It's a perfect way to spend a summer day, in my opinion. Simple comforts like watermelon and good company will do a body good.
This small town comes together and welcomes any and all who wish to participate with open arms and slices of sweet, sweet melon.
If you love amazing summer destinations, you’ll need to also visit this magical grassland full of wildflowers as far as the eye can see.
