Luminary Walk

The tradition continued in 2020 as FNBO, Westlake Ace Hardware, and Sarin Energy Solutions presented the 21st Annual Luminary Walk. Thousands safely kicked off the holiday season with a family walk through the lights at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. 

Make plans to enjoy this family-favorite event in 2021. During the three weekends following Thanksgiving, take a stroll along the lit pathways to see intricate Gnome and Fairy Villages, serene winter woods by candlelight, and the colorful Children's Garden. Enjoy musical performances in four different locations and a horse-drawn wagon ride through the forest, while the quiet woods are lit with candles lining the walkways. The gardens are bright with color. Trees, buildings, and bridges are all part of the show, with thousands of lights aglow.

The Luminary Walk is the major fundraiser for the Friends of the Arboretum (FOTA). All proceeds benefit the Arboretum.
