Big Kansas Road Trip 2024
The Big Kansas Road Trip returns to North Central Kansas this year with the counties of Lincoln, Ellsworth, and the city of Lucas on May 2nd – May 5th. Take a short trip south of Cloud County to experience the vibrance and charm of the communities along the Road Trip. The many great places to explore, events, and unique places to eat and shop, give you a glimpse of what these communities are all about and why we LOVE Kansas!
You can tell people about a good piece of made-from-scratch pie but there’s nothing like actually smelling the aroma of it and taking that first bite and making swirls with the filling that drips on the plate and mixing it with the little pieces of sugary crust. Eating a pie in the location it’s made is priceless. There is nothing like being there.
The Big Kansas Road Trip is designed to turn people on to exploring by doing it and to do it in a way that will help sustain our communities.
Kansas communities are bolstered by people who love to explore.
The idea is to get people onto the back roads and into Kansas towns to actually SEE PLACES. To actually EAT IN LOCAL CAFES and to talk to and GET TO KNOW THE LOCALS.
