We have been to a few of the local homecoming parades in the past and they are always lots of fun, and the high schoolers seem to enjoy it when there are lots of little kids around to clap and wave at them, and the kids love the festive floats, the candy, and seeing the big kids at the school they might get to go to when they're older! No matter what Siouxland team you're cheering for, there's tons of homecoming fun just around the corner!

UPDATE: The Ranch KC closed in spring 2026. I am leaving my review up for now in case people are still curious about what it was like. You can check out more of my KC faves here. On a recent trip to Kansas City, I had the opportunity to visit a new restaurant, The Ranch KC, and I was so impressed I wanted to share about it with all of you! My former hometown of Kansas City is one of my favorite travel destinations, not just because I love seeing my family and friends there, but also because there are great places to play, shop, eat, and explore.
