Christmas City of The High Plains - Gateway to Cedar Bluff State Park -- Why Not WaKeeney

WaKeeney is known as The Christmas city of the High Plains, The Gateway to Cedar Bluff State Park and recently designated Kansas Main Street.   We have everything a person needs, no reason to leave town to fill your shopping list or find professional services.  Currently undergoing some big changes in our downtown.   The year 2023 has brought murals and public works of art, 2024 will bring new sidewalks, street lamps and signage.  Conveniently located along KS I-70 halfway between Kansas City and Denver, it's a perfect place to spend a day.  Come visit us and you'll ask yourself, "Why Not WaKeeney?"  It's a great place to be ! 

We serve all of Trego County and Visitors who travel along I-70.
