Heartland Pride - 2026 - will be in a new “home”
That’s very exciting!!!

SAVE THE DATE! 🌈💖
�Heartland Pride is back July 17–18, 2026, and we’re coming to some of Omaha’s most iconic arts & entertainment venues!

This year we’re partnering with Omaha Performing Arts to bring you an elevated Pride experience:
�✨ Youth Pride, Local Entertainment Stage, Interactive Activities & Vendor Fair: Holland/Tenaska Center
�✨ Evening Show with Local & National Entertainers: Steelhouse Omaha

We also want to give a huge thank-you to our longtime friends at the CHI Health Center for years of partnership. With major construction coming to their campus, this was the perfect opportunity to expand our community collaborations—and we’re entering 2026 stronger than ever. 💪🌈

While some Prides across the country are facing challenges, Heartland Pride isn’t going anywhere.
�We’re growing, thriving, and ready to celebrate big with you next July!

Stay tuned for details on sponsorships, vendors, the entertainment lineup, and parade sign-ups.
�See you in 2026! 🏳️‍🌈✨
