Humboldt, IA – Kiwanis Christmasland in Humboldt will open for the holiday season this Friday, Nov. 29.
The 42nd year of operation, this popular holiday attraction sponsored by the Humboldt & Dakota City Noon Kiwanis Club has been visited by more than 115,000 people since its opening in 1982. Visitors from most of the 50 U.S. states and some foreign countries have seen the displays.
Last year there was an estimated 2,500 visitors to Kiwanis Christmasland. The goal of the exhibit is to provide an attraction that people of all ages can enjoy. It is located directly south of Humboldt City Hall at 407 1st Ave. South, one block south of the police station.
For 2024, there are some reconditioned scenes and new animations on display. There is a new sound system, updated train engines, children’s stockings from our Christmas in July event and much more.
