OMAHA PERFORMING ARTS

Sammy Figueroa and his Latin Jazz Ensemble at Jazz on the Green.

From sailor hats to cowboy hats, classic anthems to indie vibes, we’ve already had a variety of performers making this summer memorable and there is plenty more coming up!

Holland Center Outdoors is our outdoor summer concert series on the east lawn that’s paired bands like Smith & Myers, Parker McCollum, Vinyl Hampdin, The Docksiders and Eli Young Band with food, drinks and majestic sunsets against the backdrop of downtown Omaha.

 
Holland Center Outdoors is a summer experience the whole family can enjoy.

The lineup continues with the incredible Memphis blues of Southern Avenue on July 24 and the folk rock of Melissa Etheridge on Aug 14!

The summer tradition of free Jazz on the Green concerts is back at Turner Park, and we’ve started a new free concert series: Music at Miller Park, with an incredible kick off by Enjoli & Timeless and more to come from Dani Cleveland and Big Wade and Black Swan Theory.

We also celebrated our vibrant creative community with the Nebraska High School Theater Academy Awards Showcase and sent two outstanding actors to the Broadway League’s Jimmy Awards. We celebrated Black talent and Black history at the Voices AMPLIFIED! finale “Let America Be America Again”, featuring local literary, musical, dance and theatrical performances that reflected on the powerful poem by Langston Hughes. And in partnership with the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards, we’re seeking submissions from Omaha’s singer-songwriters for the Singer-Songwriter Showcase! Nine local performers performed at The Holland Center in June and up to nine more will take the stage on Aug. 26.

We may be halfway through summer, but the shows aren’t stopping! Explore everything on the schedule and fill your summer (and the rest of the year) with music, laughter and community at Omaha Performing Arts!
