Downtown Christmas

In an effort to spur holiday spirit, Downtown Topeka Inc. took charge in November, decorating the downtown corridor with festive lights, banners and wreaths. Trees along Kansas Avenue, from 6th Avenue to 10th Street, were strung with lights. Newly designed holiday banners were put up along the avenue. The avenue arches were adorned with garland and 5-foot holiday wreaths. And DTI worked with Evergy Plaza to secure an 18-foot Christmas tree that is now on display at the outdoor venue. DTI also announced its annual holiday window-decorating contest, encouraging local businesses to put their holiday spirit on display. Driving down the avenue at night is a sight to behold!

“This year, you can really see a miracle on Kansas Avenue!” said Rhiannon Friedman, President of Downtown Topeka Inc. “I am really proud of the work our team has done to bring a new level of merriment to our downtown. This year, we feature a new two-story Christmas tree at Evergy Plaza, new lighting in every tree from 6th to 10th street, and festive wreaths for our arches that were provided by Porterfields.”
