holy city of the wichitas

The longest-running Easter pageant in the U.S. returns for its 99th annual performance at the Holy City of the Wichitas.

The Holy City of the Wichitas could be closing due to financial challenges. The Holy City operates and is open thanks to donations from visitors and of course a lot of those visitors come for the annual Easter pageant "The Price of Peace." With the COVID-19 pandemic last year the pageant was delayed and was only lightly attended unlike years past. This has caused serious issues and has jeopardized the Holy City's future.

For our date night Saturday night, David and I decided to attend the Easter Pageant at the Holy City of the Wichitas. Neither of us had been.
