Dodge City has been named one of the Best Christmas Towns in the Midwest by This Worthey Life, a popular family lifestyle blog that inspires readers to embrace life’s adventures in food, travel, entertainment, and teen parenting. The article spotlights Dodge City’s unique blend of historical charm and festive holiday activities—such as concerts, vibrant light displays, and Santa appearances—as reasons for travelers to choose Dodge City as a holiday destination this season.
“We are honored that This Worthey Life named Dodge City one of the Midwest’s Best Christmas Towns,” said Megan Welsh, director of the Dodge City Convention and Visitors Bureau. “From our historic landmarks decked out in lights to family-friendly festivities, Dodge City captures the magic of the season.
