If you have been following our weekly blogs then you know we let you in on all the fun events, festivals and activities that happen around Omaha each weekend. Our hope is for you to spend some quality time out of the house with family and friends exploring all that our beautiful city has to offer, and make some fun and lasting memories in the process! With Christmas just a few weeks away (we can’t believe it either!), we are sure many people will find themselves trying to find gifts so they can start checking off their list, preparing their home for out of town visitors and putting together a holiday food menu – all while trying to enjoy the holiday spirit and remember what this season is all about. Putting all the hustle and bustle aside, we wanted to dedicate this blog post to some special holiday events that are taking place around Omaha in the coming days and weeks. These events are the perfect excuse to put your to-do-list away and spend some quality time with family enjoying this joyous time of year. 

The first can’t-miss event we wanted to highlight is Christmas at Union Station, which has grown to become one of the regions top holiday destination and is a long standing tradition for families of the area. Held at The Durham Museum, visitors can expect to meet Santa himself, see holidays from around the globe and be in awe of the forty-foot, breathtaking Christmas tree. It truly is a spectacle and holiday experience you won’t want to miss!  The next event we wanted to point out is Miracle on Farnam, which is a stunning showcase of creative imagination and talented artistry. With over 20 window displays, each collection was created by students, independent artists or local nonprofits, and is the perfect place for a stroll to take in and appreciate the undeniable local talent. 

Can you think of many things better than Holidays in The Old Market? We didn’t think so! Omaha’s Old Market Entertainment District is ready to show off its yuletide spirit by tickling your senses with fresh, scented greenery and bright, festive lights. Inside you will be pleased to find holiday specials that will draw you in and make you want to explore the beautiful boutiques and tasty restaurants/pubs. Lastly, if you really want to make your children happy this holiday season, be sure to check out Santa’s Magic at the Omaha Children’s Museum. This holiday tradition is the perfect way to bring your family together with the magic of the season, and not only get a chance to visit with Santa, but also enjoy a short interactive show with the Snow Queen and elves. It is an event that you won’t want to miss this Christmas! 

With so many events and festivities happening in and around Omaha this weekend, there simply won’t be time to hit them all! But we have listed a few of them below for you to check out and hopefully will make you set aside some time to spend some time enjoying this special time of year with family and friends.
