“This one might surprise you. The coolest festival in Kansas is Dodge City Days, a celebration of Kansas's era as a frontier. The Old West themed event hosts a cattle drive, carnival, rodeo, and more! This is one reason to get into Dodge, for once! (And yes, Dodge City is the origin of this phrase-the place was rough back in the cowboy days.)”
