Join us for the 30th Annual Miracle on Kansas Ave Parade! Typically held the first weekend in December, Topeka’s coveted downtown Christmas parade, Miracle on Kansas Avenue, is a holiday favorite! Enjoy tons of holiday-themed floats, marching-band performances, a chance to see Santa and his reindeer, and so much more. Also, don’t miss the annual Christmas tree lighting at Evergy Plaza!

This year’s parade is expected to feature up to 200 floats, marching bands, parade entries, and, of course, the highly anticipated arrival of Santa Claus.

After the parade, enjoy dinner downtown and stroll the avenue to see all the decorated storefronts and vote for your favorite window in the Window Decorating Contest. Instructions on how to vote will be in the contestants windows.

"We hope to make the 30th anniversary parade bigger than ever, truly capturing the joy of Christmas and the holidays in Topeka. Expect new floats, incredible marching bands, and, of course, the arrival of Santa to make this year's parade unforgettable!" John Koop, VP of Resource Development and Events for the Greater Topeka Partnership
