This Annual Event has become one of the largest Food Festivals in the Midwest.

This Outdoor Festival offers a Perfect Setting with the Aroma of Omaha’s Best Foods and the Excitement of Special Entertainment in the Air throughout the Event.
The Taste of Omaha is an event focused on showcasing over 50 of Omaha’s favorite food establishments. The festival is designed to allow our crowds, typically 100,000 patrons each year, to savor the restaurants’ specialties whether they try a small “Taste” or a full entrée.
Each year, the festival aims to highlight a diverse selection of Omaha’s restaurants. From Mexican to burgers, ribs to gyros, you can find it all at our New Location.
Expectations are running high for the Taste of Omaha, from the exciting entertainment offered Free to the Public, to the diverse showcase of excellent food companies and restaurants participating.
Many of Omaha’s Restaurants and Food Companies are well known for their signature items and favorite specialties. The Taste of Omaha will bring together Omaha’s Finest Foods and will be sure to spread Omaha’s reputation as a good-food town throughout the Midwest.
Here’s your chance to get your specialties into the mouths that matter. This is a great marketing opportunity for restaurants. Participating restaurants tend to receive a great bounce back with increased business and brand exposure immediately following the festival. Although we want you to have a positive experience onsite, our goal is to drive business back to your locations to expose our festival goers to your complete menu and turn them into repeat customers.
