Kansas Day

Written in the Stars

The Kansas experience is a story that changes according to who you are. Daydreams become daytrips. Historic town squares become new stages. Fans leave it all on the field. And every moment is a core memory in the making.


On January 29th, 1861, Kansas officially became the 34th U.S. state. What became known as Kansas Day is a day for all Kansans to celebrate our history and heritage. While the Kansas experience cannot be defined by a single destination or to-do list, all of us are shaped by stories written in the stars.
