Spirit of Kansas returning to Lake Shawnee for 4th of July
TOPEKA (KSNT) - Shawnee County Parks and Recreation said the 24th Spirit of Kansas, Shawnee County's annual 4th of July celebration, will return to Lake Shawnee this year. The festival was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic.
This year's festival will feature a car show, golf tournament, blues festival, food trucks, fireworks display and more.
