Tasting Omaha

Taste of Omaha 2012

Omaha has tons of restaurants and if you’ve ever wanted to get a good idea of what’s available, you should check out Taste of Omaha. You not only see the vendors, you get to taste the food. And you get to listen to some awesome music while you do it, too.

How Does It Work?

The festival itself is free. If you want to taste the food, though, you will need to buy tickets. You take the tickets to the vendors and redeem them for food. They will encourage you to eat as much or as little as you like – but save room because there’s always the next booth down. It isn’t just main courses; it’s desserts, wines, ice cream and even a beer tent.

It Isn’t Just Food

While food is the focus, it goes great with music. And they have it on multiple stages. The music is just as diverse as the food with acts doing classic rock, country, Polish, Crotaian, Irish, salsa and more. The music is free, too. There is plenty for the kids to do with face painting, balloons, rides, magic acts and more.

Where To Find It

Taste of Omaha is held at the Lewis and Clark Landing in Heartland of America Park, downtown. It’s an easily accessible and very pretty area.
