SUMMARY:Barnes Lighted Horse Parade
DESCRIPTION:Barnes Lighted Horse Parade — Barnes\, Kansas \nThe Barnes Lighted Horse Parade is a beloved annual holiday tradition held in the small community of Barnes\, Kansas\, each Saturday evening following Thanksgiving. What began more than 20 years ago as a modest gathering of just a handful of riders has grown into a festive event that draws families\, neighbors\, and visitors to downtown Barnes to kick off the holiday season with charm and cheer. \nThe parade features horses and carriages adorned with holiday lights and decorations\, creating a magical evening as they wind through the town streets after dusk. Before the parade begins\, festivities often include a soup supper at the local firehouse\, free carriage rides\, visits with Santa at the Hometown Café\, and hot beverages like coffee and cocoa from local vendors — making it a full evening of community fun. \nOver the years\, the event has become more than just a parade of illuminated horses; it’s a celebration of small-town spirit and togetherness. Each year’s festivities may also include special dedications or community fundraisers tied to local causes\, highlighting the caring and close-knit nature of Barnes. \nWhether you’re there for the twinkling lights\, the warm community atmosphere\, or the unique sight of horses aglow at night\, the Barnes Lighted Horse Parade offers a memorable start to the holiday season in northeast Kansas.
