On April 25, at our Little Heroes, Big Future Arbor Day Fun Fest, celebrate USA 250 by inspiring the heroes of tomorrow.

Set against the backdrop of the Nebraska City Firefighting Museum, families can enjoy a free, fun-filled festival featuring an inflatable obstacle course, face painting, and a hands-on hero art activity with Hannah Demma — all designed to spark imagination, courage, and community pride.

Summer rolls on with our Grand Ole Opry-style Country Music Revue on August 22, showcasing seven of Nebraska’s finest bands. September 27 celebrates culture and rhythm at Hispanic Heritage Night with vibrant mariachi music and more.

October is a double feature: family fun at Apple Jamboree on October 10 with carnival games, obstacle course, face painting, art activity, and animal encounter shows, followed by Art Walk on October 17, where you can shop original works from talented regional artists.

Then we wrap the year in lights and lyrics with Jingle Jam on December 12, featuring The StringBeans, and Christmas with The Flyovers on December 19 to send the season home in harmony.
