Christmas at Legends Outlets

2020 Edition

November 30, 2020 noon

The holiday shopping season is almost here, and like nearly everything else in 2020, the experience at Legends Outlets will differ from years’ past. To ensure the health and safety of its retailers, guests and employees, holiday plans have been adjusted to align with community safety measures recommended by the Wyandotte County Health Department.

Legends Outlets will offer smaller activations throughout the season and encourage shoppers to experience the Christmas tree light and music show anytime they visit the center. The activations, which include a themed selfie station, movies on The Lawn, character appearances, text-to-win giveaways, and more, limit person-to-person contact and serve as a way for shoppers to enjoy the holiday season in a safe, socially distanced environment.

Additionally, Legends Outlets will continue to operate under modified hours throughout the holiday season, including on Black Friday. This year, the center is closed on Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving, and opens at 8 a.m. on Nov. 27 for Black Friday shopping.

Holiday plans at Legends Outlets are as follows:

Christmas Tree Light Show

When: Friday, Nov. 20 – Thursday, Dec. 31 (during center hours)
Where: The Civic Courtyard Fountain

Shoppers are invited to experience Legends Outlets’ tree light display on their own time this holiday season. Beginning Nov. 20, festive decorations synchronized to holiday music will light up the 45-foot holiday tree in the Civic Courtyard and continue daily until Dec. 31. Shoppers are encouraged to share their festive photos at Legends Outlets using #LegendsHoliday.

Santa Mail Station

When: Saturday, Nov. 14 – Sunday, Dec. 20 (during center hours)
Where: Civic Courtyard, near the AMC entrance

Santa’s elves are teaming up with Legends Outlets this year to make sure Santa receives your child’s wish list. Children are invited to drop their letters in Santa’s mailbox, which is located near the AMC entrance. Please make sure to include a return address so Santa can write back. If you do not have a letter and your child is interested in writing to Santa, templates are available at Books-A-Million and in the Legends Outlets management office.

Sleigh Selfie Station

When: Friday, Nov. 20 – Saturday, Dec. 26 (during center hours)
