For over half a century, the 100-foot-tall tree has been a beacon of holiday cheer and a symbol of community aid and unity. Located in the heart of the city, Crown Center transforms into a winter wonderland each year, with the towering Mayor's Christmas Tree at its epicenter.
This long-standing tradition enhances the city's festive ambiance and serves as a poignant reminder of Kansas City's commitment to supporting its residents through the Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund.
