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.

During the last weekend in November, the ranch welcomes guests to participate in a number of activities and events that celebrate the Christmas season country style by offering events evolving around horses and the Western way of life. Presentations include horsemanship and trick roping competitions. Families and guests of all ages have the chance to enjoy buggy rides, pony rides and browse through arts and crafts displays. The facility regularly plans various activities that provide entertainment and encourage camaraderie. Santa and dozens of vendors are also on hand for the annual event.

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.
