A mega-list of 2023 holiday activities planned for Wichita


If you’re ready for some holiday spirit as soon as Halloween is over, area attractions and event planners have you covered.

After making its post-pandemic return last year, the Gingerbread Village event at Exploration Place opens the holiday event season in Wichita the first weekend in November. Other holiday events this year include long-running holiday classics along with some new events, like the Kansas Global Holiday Market in December, intended to be Wichita’s version of a European holiday market.

While some events will help participants get into the holiday spirit through lights and music, some events are about lifting the spirits of others, like the Midian Shrine’s 9th annual Feztival of Trees, a fundraiser that allows the organization to continue providing specialized pediatric care for 400 area kids, and the Union Station lighting event that doubles as a toy drive for Wichita’s Children Home.

(Granted, my daughter and her family were in very good spirits last year when they won one of the Feztival of Trees’ largest prizes that included a 6-plus-foot tree, ornaments to fill several boxes, countertop appliances, a telescope, an electric fireplace and more.)

If you’re nuts about “The Nutcracker,” you have four different stage versions to choose from, including a traveling contemporary version that features an opening set by hip-hop pioneer artist MC Kurtis Blow.

Here is a long list — but not nearly the length of Santa’s naughty and nice list — of various area holiday happenings.

THE TRADITIONAL AND NEW

Gingerbread Village at Exploration Place, 300 N. McLean, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5. Turn graham crackers, candy bits, cereal and icing into gingerbread houses at this perennial favorite. Each admission includes a gingerbread house kit and access to the science center’s exhibits. Seasoned pros often bring additional decorations to embellish their creations. The event, which kicked off Saturday, Nov. 4, benefits the Assistance League, which has four philanthropic programs, including providing clothing for school children and kits for assault survivors. Tickets: $12 for ages 12-64, $10 for ages 3-11 and ages 65 and older, $6 for Exploration Place members, free for children under 2.

If you’re into sweet-treat decorating, Exploration Place is also having a cookie decorating party from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1. Decorating kits include eight cookies. With Santa planning a visit for the event, you can impress him right away with your decorating skills.
