Finished settling into your new home or just need a break from unpacking after moving to Kansas City? Check out this weekend’s events in Kansas City and become better acclimated to your new city, and maybe even make some new friends along the way.

- Santa’s Arrival at Crown Center on November 27 – Get your kids excited about the coming holiday after moving to Kansas City and take them to welcome Santa at Crown Plaza. A horse-drawn carriage will carry Santa Claus all the way to Crayola Christmas Land, where all the good little boys and girls will be able to visit him until December 24.

- The Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 27 – At 5:30 p.m., you’ll be able to catch Kansas City Mayor, Sly James, and a surprise celebrity guest turn the switch on to the Mayor’s Christmas Tree and thousands of other holiday lights in the Crown City Area. The Mayor’s Christmas Tree helps fund the city in providing services to the less fortunate. After the holiday season, the wood from the Mayor’s Christmas Tree is made into Christmas ornaments that sold the following year, with the proceeds benefitting the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund.

- The Plaza Lights – Running each evening from Nov. 26 to Jan. 17, this enormous holiday light display stretches for 15 blocks along Country Club Plaza. If you’ve recently moved here, local Kansas City moving company suggests taking a Plaza Lights Helicopter Tour to take it all in in one breathtaking view.
