Holiday Lights Festival

Each year, the Holiday Lights Festival grows and improves, with hundreds of thousands of patrons viewing the spectacular lighting display, as well as increased awareness and donations towards the Shine the Light on Hunger campaign. Annually, 100,000 people attend the Holiday Lights Festival activities throughout the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

Mayor Jean Stothert & Downtown Omaha Inc. Foundation would like to thank everyone who makes the Holiday Lights Festival possible, especially our presenting sponsor, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska; our media sponsors, KMTV 3 News Now and Star 104.5; and our event sponsors Conagra Brands, Lincoln Financial Group and Wells Fargo.
