Step into the magical world of yuletide cheer as we invite you to our annual “Christmas in July” celebration at Fort Riley!

Join us for a heartwarming day filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories.

Unleash your creativity with festive crafts, and dive into the spirit of friendly competition with a variety of games and activities for all ages.

Rumor has it that Mr. Claus himself might make a surprise visit! Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to meet the jolly man in red and maybe even snap a photo or two.
