See our new far NW Topeka Tour.
Special thanks go to my support team (Dean, Lyle, Mary and Linda) who have navigated, drove, and otherwise assisted in the Topeka Christmas Display tour in various combinations for twelve years. It is good having native guides and they make scouting the tour much more fun.
Kingman Christmas Village Must See!  For over 20 years, the Kenny and Virginia Kingman Christmas Village has grown until nearly 30,000 lights fill their large north Topeka yard. It takes most of a month to set up the many cutout figures and buildings which populate the fictional town of "Nowheresville." This is one of the most impressive holiday displays that I have seen anywhere. Be sure drive around the alley behind the house to see more of the decorations. There are nice smaller displays in the two blocks south of this one. A. 1935 NW Polk Street, Topeka, Kansas 66608 | Goodrich Family Christmas Display  The Goodrich Family Christmas Display has been on this tour since the first year and was a regional winner in Topeka's Holiday Lights Contest in 2007. Rob and Jennifer Goodrich moved to Topeka from California and many of the original decorations came with them from previous displays. In recent years, the Goodrich Family Christmas Display display has grown much smaller than the early years. M. 2844 SW Lincolnshire Court, Topeka, Kansas 66614 |
Polk Street Christmas Display  This NW Polk Street Christmas Display was new to the tour in 2019. We discovered it while visiting the Kingman Christmas Village above and it is just a few doors north. Despite a modest sized front yard, the arrangement makes effective use of the space and is quite inviting. Please email if you know more about this holiday display. B. 2021 NW Polk Street, Topeka, Kansas 66608 | Cannock Chase Road Christmas Displays  There is a block of nice Christmas light displays along Cannock Chase Road leading north from 29th Street. A couple of them particularly stand out, including the one above which is on the ride side of the street, where the numbers change and it curves west, at 7100 SW Cannock Chase Road. This display isn't particularly large, but it is so effective and attractive. Please email if you know more about this holiday display. N. 2819 SW Cannock Chase, Topeka, Kansas 66614 |
Roberts Family Holiday Display  The Roberts Family Holiday Display on North Kansas Avenue was started by Donna Roberts around 1995 and has been part of this tour since 2013. It was once just hand painted snowmen and Christmas trees that her sister had painted. New generations of the family slowly add lights and carries on this tradition for Donna who passed away 3 days before Christmas in 2016. This display is about winter, with icicles, white trees and many snowmen. Will start in early December 2021. C. 1715 North Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66608 | Staffordshire Road Christmas  At one time, three homes in a row formed major Christmas Light Displays in the 3000 block of Staffordshire Road on the southwest side of Topeka. For 2019, it is mostly one, with part of one of the display stretching into each of the next yards. There is a lot to see. Either of these displays would be worthy of inclusion on this holiday light tour on its own. The display is produced by Pam and Terry Fleck. The display will be up starting November 28, 2021. O. 3032 SW Staffordshire Road, Topeka, Kansas 66614 |
Walker Family Christmas Display  We stumbled across the Walker Family Christmas Display while revisiting nearby displays in 2011. They have a large lot at the end of a block and have displays on two streets (some years on three). The display includes many flood lit cut out cartoonish figures which are worth seeing in daylight. The cut outs don't show as well in this image but it is quite impressive. D. 1431 NW Harrison, Topeka, Kansas 66608 | Burnett Court Christmas Display  We discovered the Burnett Court Christmas Display on our way to investigate the Skyline Parkway Holiday Lights. We were seeing it from the back, but there was even an impressive display from this side. While it may not be obvious in this photo, there are an amazing number of decorations packed into a fairly small space. This display was new to the tour in 2017. Still going up on November 29, 2021. P. 4805 SW Burnett Court, Topeka, Kansas 66614 |
Potwin Place Neighborhood  The Potwin Place Neighborhood Christmas Display is the most visited stop on our tour of Topeka holiday lights. The national historic district has 6 blocks of well decorated, beautiful old homes, plus theme displays on the small roundabouts at each intersection. Start the tour on Woodland, from 4th Street and tune your radio to 96.9FM. The 2021 theme is a A Christmas Carol and it will be up from November 27 until January 8, 2022. More photos and a longer review. E. SW Greenwood & SW Woodlawn, Topeka, KS 66606 | Skyline Parkway Holiday Lights  The attractive Skyline Parkway Holiday Lights display ws new to the Christmas tour in 2017. They do a nice job of decorating the large corner lot. This is across the street from Skyline Park and Burnett's Mound. Some years Santa makes an appearance at the Skyline Holiday Lights. Still going up on November 29, 2021. Q. 3340 SW Skyline Pkwy, Topeka, Kansas 66614 |
Peace Family Christmas Program  The Peace Family Christmas Program was new to Topeka in 2019. They moved here from Colorado, where they had a program set to music for 5 years. There are many lights & elements to the show, spread over such a large a lot that the connection between the lights and music isn't as obvious as some shows. For the best view, come up the street from the south and watch from the far side of the street. The music is broadcast on 99.9FM and the program runs from 5:30-10PM Sunday - Thursday and 5:30-11pm on Friday & Saturday. F. 655 SW Westchester Road, Topeka, Kansas 66604 | Southboro Christmas Subdivision  Many of the homes in the Southboro Subdivision use the same white light roping that you see here. In some blocks, nearly every home has the white lights and it provides very attractive panoramas. This listing is for much of the subdivision north of the intersection of 45th and California Avenues. The Evans' family home at 4300 SE Michigan Avenue has a light program from 6-10 PM and broadcasts music on 88.7FM. R. 4211 SE Wisconsin Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66605 |
Zoo Lights  Zoo Lights is a brand new holiday light event at the Topeka Zoo. Visitors walk through half of the zoo with 150 lighted trees, 200 light displays, a holiday village and Santa Claus. Timed tickets are sold online and are only $10 for adults or $7 for children. If you don't have the time for a walk through, the part of display you can see through the fence is still worth a look. More info about Zoo Lights and how to purchase tickets. November 19th - December 26th, 2021. G. 635 SW Gage Blvd, Topeka, Kansas 66606 | Reedy Set Glow  Reedy Set Glow is new to the Topeka Christmas display tour in 2020. The Christmas light show includes music broadcast on 89.1FM and singing faces. The show includes 18 songs and runs until 10PM Sunday - Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Starts December 1, 2021. Reedy Set Glow also does a music and light show in the weeks leading up to Halloween. S. 2838 SE Minnesota Ave, Topeka, KS 66605 |
Vincent Cook's Christmas Display  We didn't learn about Vincent Cook's amazing Christmas display until 2019. The lights in the backyard alone would put this display on the tour. That year the front yard had a Deer Versus Snowmen Football Game between the "Deerheads" and the "snowballs." 2021 is the 6th year of the display, which changes year to year and grows each day through Christmas. The lights usually remain on all night on Christmas Eve and evenings until New Years Day. I. 1195 SW Webster Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66604 | Powell Family Christmas Display  William & Elaine Powell repeatedly won prizes for their Christmas displays in the 1990s and 2000s. The Powell's' Christmas display has been much smaller in recent years, but it is still very attractive and nicely done. Our favorite part in recent years is a carousel. From SE 29th Street, turn north on Aquarius. Leo is on the right. T. 2326 SE Leo Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66605 |
Washburn Winter Walk  The Washburn University Alumni invite you to come to the Topeka campus for the Washburn Winter Walk to see and enjoy the lights from 5 - 10 PM daily from November 30, 2021 until February 6. The 2020 display seen from the car wasn't really worth coming out of your way, but they have expanded to 71,000 lights for 2021 and we look forward to seeing the larger display. Even last year, it was a pleasant walk. Parking is available in the parking lot south of Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center. J. 1701 SW Jewel Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66621 | Croco Road Christmas Display  The Croco Road Christmas Display hasn't been up every year, but it is up in 2021. It is spread over more than an acre and many of the elements of this large display by Byron & Sandy Glotzbach (including a helicopter in the air with a spinning rotor) are impressive It is a bit handicapped by being partially hidden by the Croco Road I-70 overpass and by trees along the road. U. 2100 Southeast Croco Road, Topeka, Kansas 66605 |
Seabrook Avenue Christmas Displays  Seabrook Avenue has several attractive, modest sized light displays on the east side of the street. 1746 Seabrook is nicely outlined in lights and has Santa and his sleigh on the rooftop. An adjacent home has lights flashing to music broadcast on 97.1FM. The display which sets this apart is on the opposite side of the street. The 1733 Seabrook display isn't as decorated, but has a large Peace, Love & Apple Sauce sign in lights and is done by Danny and Shara Monhollon. K. 1733 & 1746 SW Seabrook Ave, Topeka, Kansas 66604 | Cortez Holiday Light Show  The Cortez Holiday Light Show started in 2008 and has grown into one of the nicest music and light shows which we have seen. The program is synchronized to music on 100.1 FM. Since 2019 the home across the street has been added to the show. The program runs from 6PM to 10PM Sunday - Thursday and 6PM to 11PM on Friday and Saturday). Please be respectful of the neighbors. Runs November 13, 2021 - January 1, 2022. V. 3919 SE 30th Terrace, Topeka, Kansas 66605 |
National Lampoon Christmas  The National Lampoon Christmas Vacation display has several elements from the movie, including Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) dangling from a ladder which has fallen back from the building, Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) holding a hose, and the fried cat under the chair. This display was new to the tour in 2018 and more elements have been added to the display in each year. L. 1828 SW Moundview Drive, Topeka, Kansas 66604 | Winter Wonderland XXIV  2021 is the 24th year for Winter Wonderland, a fundraiser for TARC. Located in the Lake Shawnee Campground, Winter Wonderland XXIV runs from 6 - 10 PM each night from November 24 until December 31, 2021.

2021 Northwest Topeka Christmas Light Tour
Hickory Ridge Christmas Display  This Northwest Kansas Christmas Light Tour was new to this page in 2019. We found them while coming to check a lead on the display on 33rd Terrace. In 2019 the display included many inflatables, including a huge Toy Shop, off camera to the right. The display was a little small, but still going up on 11/29/21. Please email if you know more about this holiday display. A. 3407 Hickory Ridge Lane Topeka, Kansas 66618 | 33rd Terrace Christmas Display  The first 33rd Terrace Christmas Display led us to finding the many nicely decorated homes in Hickory Ridge subdivision. That display was there in 2019 & 2020, but is gone this year. This home on the same culdesac is a little to small for the tour, but is right on your way through Hickory Ridge, so we are adding it to the tour this year. Please email if you know more about this holiday display. C. 3441 NW 34th Circle, Topeka, Kansas 66618 |
Blassingame Nativity  We love the large Roy and Beverly Blassingame Nativity, which is just a couple of doors from the previous display. As you continue along the route on the map, through the subdivision, you will see many more nice displays, though none are quite large enough to have separate listings. This is the 6th or 7th year that this display has been up. B. 3312 NW 33rd Terrace, Topeka, Kansas 66618 | 35th Street Nativity  We didn't spot this 35th Street Nativity display in 2019, but it doesn't stand out until you are pulling up Bent Tree Lane to 35th. This is is so simple, but so effective. The spotlight on this nativity cut out throws a large shadow on the side of the home, centered on a bright lighted star. Please email if you know more about this holiday display. C. 3221 NW 35th Street, Topeka, Kansas 66618 |
