Walking Event: Lights on the Plaza

This walk will take you through the trendy Westport area and by the beautiful Vietnam Memorial. Most of the walk will be centered in the Country Club Plaza area, which is a virtual outdoor museum of Spanish architecture and European art. J.C. Nichols, a Kansas City developer created the Country Club Plaza in 1922 as the nation's first suburban shopping area. Walkers, while marveling at the beautiful Christmas lights, will have an opportunity to view the 130 foot tall reproduction of the Giralda Tower of Seville in Spain. Another Plaza wonder on the route is the beautiful Seville Light and Diana, one of the largest man-made waterfalls in the nation. Kansas City is second only to Rome in the number of fountains, so walkers will be viewing several beautiful fountains.
