Bonner Springs: Festivals, Nature and Golf

Bonner Springs offers a range of events and activities to consider when planning a stay: Tiblow Days takes place on a set date each year, trails and a fishing lake offer time outdoors, and museums explore subjects including farming and marbles. Golf is another possible focus. If you’re looking for a hotel for your stay, these themes can help you decide what brings you to the area.

Festival and Farmers’ Market

Tiblow Days is an annual hometown festival held on the last weekend of August. If you’re planning a festival-focused stay, this weekend is the key date to consider. Live music was scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings at the 2026 edition; this program detail may vary from year to year. Before a future trip, check the program for the year in question.

The Bonner Springs Farmers’ Market offers produce, meat, bread, eggs, honey, and handmade products. As of September 6, 2026, weekly live music, yoga, and activities for children were also scheduled for 2026. The schedules differ: Tiblow Days is held annually on the last weekend of August, while the market activities were scheduled weekly for 2026. If you’re planning a trip, check the festival dates and market program for the year in question.

Trails, Lake, and Time Outdoors

The Nature Trail includes a 0.75-mile section through the wooded area and another 0.5 miles on the pond loop. These figures refer to two sections of different lengths: one through the wooded area and one looping around the pond. At 0.5 miles, the loop is 0.25 miles shorter than the section through the wooded area.

The Nature Trail at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs winds gently around a peaceful pond. You can walk there during daylight hours, and the trail can also be part of a jogging route. This lets you fit the activity around your plans for the day.

The Bonner Springs Parks Department trails run through Kerry Roberts Park, North Park, Lions Park, and South Park. All trails are paved, with the exception of a 0.34-mile section in Kerry Roberts Park. This clearly identified exception is a practical difference to consider when choosing among the park trails listed.

North Park includes a two-acre fishing lake with a fishing pier. The lake’s size and pier make fishing a specific draw here. The park trails, by contrast, are described in terms of their routes and surfaces, offering different ways to spend time outdoors.

Golf and Cultural History

Sunflower Hills is an 18-hole championship golf course measuring more than 7,000 yards from the championship tees. The length refers specifically to those tees. Compared with the trails described here, the difference in scale is clear: those are individual trail sections and their surfaces, while this is a course described by its number of holes and length.

The Museum of Farming at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs contains historical artifacts. Farm Town USA offers a ride on a small-gauge Union Pacific train around a lake. These provide different ways to explore farming and history: historical objects in one place and a train ride in the other.

The Moon Marble Company is located at 600 East Front Street, Bonner Springs, KS 66012, and includes a Moon Marble Museum. Visitors are invited to visit the museum. For your planning, this destination combines a specific location with a distinct subject: marbles. Together with the historical artifacts at the Museum of Farming and the train ride at Farm Town USA, it offers a choice of cultural interests without equating these places or experiences.
