Downtown Omaha Lights
Experience the glow of Downtown Omaha Lights, where the heart of the city shines brightest. Each season, streets, parks, and landmarks transform into a sparkling winter landscape that brings families, friends, and visitors together. Step into the magic and explore the beauty of downtown during the holidays.
What is Downtown Omaha Lights?
The Downtown Omaha Lights celebration is a citywide winter showcase that brings together our favorite places, people, and traditions. Each season, lights, art, and special events turn downtown into a walkable wonderland, inviting families, friends, and visitors to explore what makes Omaha shine.
​
Through this project, Downtown Omaha Inc shares a digital guide to the season. The website and companion mobile app highlight light displays, attractions, and events across downtown so you can plan an evening out, discover someplace new, and support local businesses along the way.
​
From the Zoo and Lauritzen Gardens to the Durham Museum, the Riverfront, the Old Market, the Luminarium, the Holland Center, Steelhouse, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, the Maker District, NoDo, FNBO Park, Little Bohemia, and Sixteenth Street, Downtown Omaha Lights connects it all. The goal is simple: celebrate community, increase foot traffic, and showcase the energy and warmth of downtown Omaha during the holiday season.
