Welcome Home, Omaha
No matter where life
takes you, Omaha
is still home.
Native Omaha Days is more than an event. It is North Omaha's homecoming — bringing generations together to celebrate the people, neighborhoods, culture, music, businesses, faith, families and history that shaped this community. It started as a way to bring folks back. It still does.

The Week
Eight days.
One homecoming.
The original celebration was a mixer, a gospel night, a riverboat ride, a parade, a dance, a picnic and Blue Monday. Every tradition since has been built on top of it.
Gospel Night
Choirs, congregations and a sanctuary full of voices carrying the sound North Omaha was raised on.
Family Reunions
Matching tees, folding tables, the same jokes for forty years. The parks fill up and nobody leaves early.
Music & The Mixer
Live bands, block parties and the social mixer that has opened this homecoming since 1977.
The Food
Ribs, catfish, cornbread and plates handed over a grill by somebody who knew your grandmother.
Black-Owned Omaha
Shop the businesses, makers and entrepreneurs keeping the corridor alive between homecomings.

Native Omaha
Days
History here is not buried on an about page. It is the reason the street fills up. Native Omaha Days began as a movement to reconnect people with North Omaha and preserve the community's cultural legacy — and that purpose has never changed.
