Next top Must-Attend Events in Nebraska

Since the state's early history, Nebraska's plentiful and expansive prairies have helped feed its people and fuel its economic growth. However, Nebraska offers far more to its residents and tourists than just endless cornfields. The state's largest cities, including Omaha and Lincoln, feature a number of regular cultural attractions, including art exhibitions, music festivals, concerts and more.

The community celebrates the western heritage of the Midwest with this spectacular event that features seven pro-rodeo events along with daredevil presentations, chariot races and chuckwagon races in the massive main arena. Held every July and spanning a full week, the fair also features numerous animal, agricultural and homemade exhibits along with a variety of vendors and activities.

  • Chase County Fairgrounds 560 Park Street Imperial, NE 69033 in Imperial, NE

This eight-day August event remains one of the grandest county fairs in the state and attracts over 100 vendors who display their products on over 80,000 square feet of space. Guests find everything here from fashion and personal care items to household products, farm equipment, recreational products and vehicles. Along with the exhibits, the site features a carnival, live musical concerts and other shows that include auto racing.
