Lenexa was hailed as the “Spinach Capital of the World” during the 1930s. Each year, we celebrate that part of our history with the annual Spinach Festival, a fun, family-oriented event that draws thousands of visitors from all over the area. It’s a festive day of food, music, entertainment, arts and antique vendors, a recipe contest, wine tasting, cooking demonstrations, kids’ activities and so much more – all set in the beautifully renovated Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park.
