The page calls it a drive-through: stay in the car, bring holiday music, and expect a different local school, nonprofit, or community group to host each night, with a portion of that night's proceeds going back to the host. No reservation or timed entry is described. The same page still prints a hosting calendar headed 2025, so which group hosts which 2026 night, and whether a suggested donation applies this year, is not settled on the page. Dress for a car ride rather than a walk, and allow extra time if downtown traffic is heavy on the November 21 parade night. ## Similar picks in Kansas City - [Holiday Lights on Farmstead Lane at Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead](https://grassyknees.com/kansas-city/activities/holiday-lights-on-farmstead-lane-at-deanna-rose-children-s-farmstead--listing-bf84588d935a077c02c26d51) — Nov 26 – Dec 31 · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead (main entrance and parking lot), Overland Park · All ages · checked Oct 16.
