The Lights Festival

The lights festival is an experience where thousands of people gather to listen to music, fill up on good food, and light up the night sky. Its focus on creating a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience for all of their guest. Upon entry of the event, you’re given a lantern, marker, and lights festival wristband. While you wait for the sun to set you can draw on your lantern, enjoy food from local food trucks, and listen to live music. Once it gets dark and the local fire marshal gives the OK then the magic happens and thousands of paper lanterns ascend into the night sky. Check out their website to learn more here.

Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri and is known for its jazz heritage, barbecue, and craft breweries. It has several neighborhoods that each has a variety of things to do. I moved back to the Kansas City area this past November. Due to the unusually cold winter, I hadn’t really gotten A chance to get out and explore the city. On my most recent day off from work, I decided to take a trip to the downtown Kansas City area and do some sightseeing. I visited three places near the Crossroads District of Kansas City area. While on my foot tour of the CIty I also played some Pokemon Go and really was able to explore and learn more about the city.

The Parkville Nature Sanctuary is a wildlife preserve and educational site developed and maintained by Parkville, MO with the help of volunteers. Parkville, MO is a historic river town located 5 miles north of downtown Kansas City. The City of Parkville is best known for its antique shops, art galleries, and historic downtown.  I only live about 10 minutes from the nature sanctuary. With the weather getting warmer and my recent purchase of the iPhone X, I’ve been wanting to get out more so I could test out the camera on my new phone. In addition to temperatures being in the 60s, and this being my last Saturday off from work for a while. I decided to check out the Parkville Nature Sanctuary and test out my new iPhone.
