 Deckard Family Christmas Display
Deckard Family Christmas Display - Kansas City, Kansas The Deckard Family Christmas Display used to be just two doors from the Johnson County Line. Considering the modest size of the house and front yard, Terry and Vicki Deckard did an amazing job. In 2016 they moved to this new location with much more room and the display is even more impressive.

 Quivira Road Christmas Display
Quivira Road Christmas Display - Shawnee, Kansas This 51st Street and Quivira Road Christmas Display was new to the tour for 2019. We discovered it on the way to check on a nearby display which is not up this year. It is even nicer than it appears in this photo, but the street light partially washes the photo out. A large sign saying "Joy" appears to the left of this photo.

 48th Street Christmas Display
48th Street Christmas Display  - Kansas City, Kansas This 48th Street Christmas Display in south Wyandotte County was new to the Christmas light tour in 2017. We stumbled across it when we were returning home after checking displays from previous years. There are a mixture of inflated decorations, lights and fixed decorations. We found the display more esthetically pleasing than many which use a lot of blow ups.

 Steve Pearson Christmas Display 
Steve Pearson Christmas Display - Merriam, Kansas Steve Pearson started enlarging his Christmas light display in 1989. By 2002 he had 15,000 lights. Steve's holiday display has won the Merriam, Kansas Festival of Lights Contest at least 3 times.  It hasn't been put up every year and is a little smaller in more recent years. It is on a major street, but this section of Johnson Drive has lighter traffic than most.

 County Line Road Nativity
County Line Road Nativity - Kansas City, Kansas. The highlight of this County Line Road Christmas display is the large backlit, cut out nativity, which appears to be hand made. It is flanked by retro plastic choir figures and candles. This display is smaller than most on these tour routes but continues to grow each year. Note: County Line Road and  West 47th Street are the same street

 Sohosky Christmas Light Show 
Kimberling Christmas Light Show - Shawnee, Kansas The animated Sohosky Christmas Light Show was new to the Johnson County tour in 2020. We discovered it when it was entered in the "Shawnee Rocks" holiday light contest. Music is broadcast on 100.1 FM and the lights move with the music. We particularly liked the train which is a central feature and the round, window like panel on the upper floor.

 County Line Holiday Display
County Line Holiday Display - Kansas City, Kansas This County Line Holiday Display was new to the tour in 2021. It is smaller than many displays on the tour, but quite attractive and right on the route. We ran across it in day time when it is as impressive as at night. There is a small nativity and snowflake lights. I particularly like the Santa's sleigh and reindeer lights over the left side of the house.

 Candy Cane Lane
Candy Cane Lane - Prairie Village, Kansas In 2008 Candy Cane Lane recovered from several years of dwindling displays. It was the 51st year of Candy Cane Lane and every house was attractively decorated. This display of lights was once again worth a special visit. They have continued to put up the new displays and this has become one of the most popular Christmas displays in Kansas City. Candy Cane Lane will be lighted November 25, 2023 to New Year's Day. Longer review with more photos and map.

 Brady Christmas Light Display
Brady Christmas Light Display - Lenexa, Kansas This Brady Christmas Light Display has been part of the Johnson County Christmas Light Tour since 2015. It seems to have a little of everything wrapped together in one yard. There are more Santa Clauses, sleighs and reindeer then we could count, with some of them flying through the air. Lighted from Thanksgiving Day until January 1. In 2019 they added a real sleigh from Nebraska.

 Oshel Family Christmas Display 
Hemlock Street Christmas Display  - Overland Park, Kansas The Oshel Family Christmas Display started in 2011 with just a few handmade PVC pipe trees laying on the roof but it has grown into a handmade train and two PVC pipe trees on the roof and 11 inflatables situated around the yard and the roof. There is a little more than you can see in this picture. This a 2018 photo, but we like this photo better.

 Vossen Christmas Display 
Hemlock Street Christmas Display  - Overland Park, Kansas 2018 was the first year that this Vossen Christmas Display has had its own listing. It is still a little smaller than most displays on the tour, but is very nicely done and makes a nice greeting for the larger Oshel Family display next door and other smaller ones down the next couple of blocks. Dale & Jodi Vossen add more lights each year.

 Noland Road Christmas Lights
Noland Road Christmas Lights Display - Lenexa, Kansas This Noland Road Christmas Lights Display is smaller than most displays on the tour, but its location on a rise along a curve in the street as you drive to Nyman Lights stands out and makes a striking presence. It is quite attractive when approached from any direction.

 Murphy Holiday Figures
Murphy Holiday Figures - Overlnad Park, Kansas The Murphy Holiday Figures are on the corner of Antioch Road and 76th Street, with nice displays on both streets. Although we didn't discover this display until 2019, it looks like it must have been around for many more years. Our favorite part of this display was the gingerbread man and marshmallows using a giant mug of hot chocolate as a hot tub. Christmas is Mary Ann Murphy's favorite day of the year.

 Dowding Light Program
Dowding Light Program - Shawnee, Kansas The Dowding Christmas Light Program is coordinated to music which is played through a speaker. Although the program has been up for many years, 2014 was its first appearance on this tour. The overall display seems a little smaller in recent years, but does include a new set of lights above the garage door which can spell out short words. There used to be two light shows on this street, but 70th Terrace is still worth a visit.

 Butcher Christmas Light Display
Butcher Christmas Light Display - Overland Park, Kansas The Butcher Christmas Light Display is located at the corner of 103rd Street and Cody Street. It was a part of this tour for several years, but until this return in 2022, has not been up when we checked. The unusually tall inflated Santa Claus, snowman and animated teeter totter makes this display as impressive in daytime as at night.

 Clark Family Christmas
Clark Family Christmas light and music program - Shawnee, Kansas 2023 is the tenth year that the Clark Family Christmas display has been on this tour.  The house is on a very large lot on a street where it is hard to stop and view. Many of the lights flash and music plays on 91.9 FM. This year the display is much larger and fuller with a mixture of inflatables and other features. This photo shows a small part of the display, which is hard to photograph all together.

 11000th Street Christmas Display
Butcher Christmas Light Display - Overland Park, Kansas The 11000 block of 100th Street has a unified theme of white lights around the trees and overhead strings going diagonally across the street. There are two large displays across the street from each other at 11007 and 11008. Thank you to Jeff Byrd for telling us about this neighborhood display.

 Haskins Street Display
Haskins Street Chrsitmas light Display - Lenexa, Kansas This neat, varied display near 79th Street and Pflumm in Lenexa has been around for many years. This Haskins Street Christmas Display has many moving figures including Santa Claus on a teeter totter and a small Ferris wheel. This is a very full display which is hard to take all in on a single visit. I particularly like the parachuting dog! This display is even interesting in daylight.

 Gapske Christmas Display
Gapske Christmas Display - Overland Park, Kansas Bill & Teddi Gapske's 98th Terrace Christmas light display has been growing each year and was first included on the Christmas Light Tour in 2015. In time it expanded into the neighboring lot and in 2022 two other adjacent home have significant light displays as well. There were about 30,000 lights in 2022 and they hope to have the display up by December 1, 2023.

 Altasciences Holiday Lights
Vince & Associates Holiday Lights - Overland Park, Kansas The best place to view the 200,000 light Altasciences (formerly Vince & Associates) animated Christmas music and light display is from the parking lot of Emmanuel Baptist Church, across Metcalf. Tune your radio to 97.1 FM. Although this building looks like it is an insurance agency or similar office, Altasciences does pre clinical or laboratory research for pharmaceutical companies.

 Sar-Ko Aglow
Sar-Ko Aglow - Lenexa, Kansas Sar-Ko Aglow is what the city of Lenexa calls the lighting ceremony at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park, but I think that is a good name for the park during the rest of the Christmas season. The beautiful collection of lighted trees around Rose's Pond is a popular destination on warm December nights. The lights go on December 1, 2023 will remain until January 15, 2024, 6-11 PM. The official lighting ceremony will be December 2 at 6 PM at Grand Pavilion.

 Hager Family Sound and Light Display
Leawood Kansas Christmas Light Display Ken and Marilyn Hager's computer controlled sound and light display is attractive and has less flashing and changing than most animated displays. The program runs from 5 PM to 1 AM. The electronics for this show are by Animated Lighting and the lights are installed by Brighter Holidays. Tune your car radio to 102.7 FM to enjoy the show. This was one of the first animated shows, having begun in 2003, and the program is more tasteful, but less active than most shows today.

This Ash Street Christmas Display is one block east of Nall Avenue and just north of 130th Terrace. This is at least the thirteenth year for the holiday display, which includes mostly fixed lights. There are just a few flashing lights and the only movement is from the white deer at the left. The next house to the left has a Christmas display with deer, which complements this display.

 Coombs Christmas Display
Coombs Christmas display - Overland Park, Kansas The Coombs Christmas display was new to the Johnson County Christmas Display Tour in 2020 and moved to this much larger corner lot in a nearby neighborhood in 2021. There are many inflatables. My favorites include a swan in a pool, a golden "Noel," Snoopy driving a Zamboni machine and a fishing Santa Claus in a power boat holding up a freshly caught fish.

 Curtis Family Christmas Light Display
Curtis Family Christmas Light Display - Overland Park, Kansas Craig and Paula Curtis used 3,000 lights to decorate their home for the first time, but over 28 years their display has grown to 30,000 lights. The bulk of the Christmas lights on the roof of the Overland Park home, giving a unique look to the Curtis Family Christmas Light Display. The display stays much the same each year, but Paula likes to add a "misfit" to each year's display. Up Thanksgiving through Christmas in 2023.

The Cantrell Christmas Display used to be in Leawood, but after a year off, it is back at this new location. It includes 28 inflatables including a light-saber fight between Darth Vader and Yoda, husky dog, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, minions, 6 ft Momma and baby Dragon, huge Santa, Spiderman and a 8 Foot Snowglobe. Most of the balloons are not lighted and it might be best to check out this display before it get completely dark.

 Martin Family Christmas Light Display
117th Street Christmas Light Display - Overland Park, Kansas The Martin Family Christmas Display has been on the tour since 2013. Just a few doors west of the Curtis Family Display, this nice presentation is supplemented by lights in the yard next door. Craig and Michelle Martin started putting up Christmas decorations in 1993 when they moved in.  Every year the display is changed somewhat due to items finally falling apart from years of use, adding new items from the after Christmas blowouts, and forgetting exactly where things were placed from the year before! The display tentatively runs unto New Years.

 Riggs Road Christmas Carousel
Riggs Road Christmas Carousel - Stilwell, Kansas
We stumbled across this Riggs Road Christmas Carousel on our way to see the large display which is farther up the street. Although this lovely display is smaller than most on the tour, it is book ended by two unique items. The white sign at the left near the road is a peanuts cartoon work in progress. We hope to get back and see how it grows. The real stand out is the apparently hand made carousel at the far right. As it turns, you first see Frosty the Snowman, than Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa in his sleigh and the Grinch.

 Kreimendahl Holiday Display
Kreimendahl Holiday Display - Overland Park, Kansas The Kreimendahl Holiday Display has been on this tour since 2013. Jeff and Marcia Kreimendahl have since made it even larger. Located just a few doors farther west than the past two stops on the Johnson County tour, this display is a bit smaller than we usually put on this tour, but it is very nice and the culdesac in front of it even makes a nice place to turn around before continuing the tour. In 2023, the red structure shown in the photo was no longer there when checked.

Riggs Road Christmas Display - Stilwell, Kansas This large Riggs Road Christmas Display has a larger number of  lights and inflatables on an even larger lot. We don't know how many years it has been up, but it was new to the Christmas Light Tour in 2021. The large weeping tree of lights is the most noticeable part of the display, much of which is around to the left where it doesn't show in this photo. In 2023, two homes on the opposite side of the street have added figures along the street in what looks like a response.

 Millbyer Christmas Display
110th Terrace Christmas Display - Lenexa, Kansas The Millbyer Christmas Display is just off College Boulevard. This neighborhood has several nice displays but this one on is the largest and most interesting. The decorations are spread over a large corner lot and include Christmas music coordinated with some of the lights, coming from a speaker near the back. This display has been up 25 years and we first found it in 2009. Robert Millbyer hasn't been able to put it up every year, but it is bigger and better in 2022.

 Holiday Lights at the Farmstead
In 2013, the Ultimate Holiday Tree moved from the residential location where it has been for many years, to Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. It is now called Holiday Lights on Farmstead Lane. The display has been expanded and many display components have been added such as large 3D Spheres, a Whimsical Tree Forest, and a 20' Majestic Star.

 Christmas on Bradshaw
Nottingham by the Green Christmas lights - Overland Park, Kansas The last display on the South Johnson County Christmas Light Tour is also one of the most recent and most impressive displays added to the tour. Christmas on Bradshaw has a soundtrack which broadcasts on 99.9 FM and includes a talking Christmas tree. In 2017, this display expanded to encompass all 13 homes in the culdesac. Every house, is decorated and many of their displays flash to the music. It is a long drive down here from the previous house, but it is a great conclusion to a tour!

Christmas Place - Terrace Place subdivision
Christmas Place - Overland Park, Kansas Since 1992, the 23 homes of these two streets in the Terrace Place subdivision have been creating Christmas Place. These homes are coordinated with all keeping the same theme, rather than individually standing out. Pulling into the subdivision is like walking through an enchanted forest. There is a feeling of being inside this display that adds to the wonder and isn't captured in the photo. Cindy Lou Corley started the tradition by providing lighted candy canes to every home.  Cindy died about 18 years later from breast cancer but the celebration continues.

Lewis Family Handmade Christmas - Olathe, Kansas The Lewis Family Handmade Christmas display is worth visiting day or night. The corner lot has many elements which can be enjoyed during the day, such as the wooden Santa and sleigh on the porch roof and a wooden handmade life size nativity on the south side of the home. The nativity alone would put this display on the tour, but there are also moving deer and a ring of snowmen (made from wooden spindles) holding hands around the front tree. Lights on December 1, 2023 to January 7, 2024.

Gardner Lake Christmas lights. - Gardner, Kansas The north end of Gardner Lake has several homes with nice Christmas light displays.
