Shining Lights & Winning Nights 2026

Join us for a fun-filled 30+ field trip packed with Christmas lights, holiday sightseeing, and a little casino excitement! We’ll depart from the Tongie Rec Center and head to KCMO to experience the Winter Magic Light Show, then take a festive drive through the Country Club Plaza to enjoy the holiday displays.
From there, we’ll visit the Deanna Rose Christmas Light Show and take in the dazzling lights before heading to Hollywood Casino in KCK for some time to play and enjoy the casino atmosphere.
After a night of shining lights and winning nights, we’ll head back to the Tongie Rec Center. Come enjoy the holiday season, explore the city, and make it a night to remember!
