Enjoy a Free and Festive Drive-Through Experience!

To keep the community safe, families can enjoy a festive drive-through experience at the Omaha Police Mounted Patrol Barn!

The drive-through event will include picking up craft kits to do as a family (first come, first serve), holiday characters and Santa, trotting police horses, and holiday entertainment all in the warmth and safety of your vehicle.

Children under the age of 10 years old will receive a free book, courtesy of the Omaha Public Library.

Participating organizations include Omaha Police Mounted Patrol Barn, the Omaha Public Library, Omaha Children’s Museum, and Downtown YMCA.

Help feed the community! Volunteers will be on hand to collect food donations for the Shine the Light on Hunger campaign, so bring nonperishable food with you if you wish to contribute. All contributions are greatly appreciated!

More about Holiday Lights Festival
The idea of decorating Omaha with holiday lights had been discussed by downtown advocates for many years. The occasion of the millennium provided the impetus for the project. In 1999, a coalition of city officials, corporations and foundations chose to present a legacy gift of holiday lights to the City of Omaha as the Millennium Lights celebration. That first year, more than 60,000 people came downtown to witness the lighting ceremony. Because the lights were so well received by the public, the Downtown Omaha Inc. Foundation was established the following year to continue Millennium Lights as the Holiday Lights Festival. The Shine the Light on Hunger campaign, sponsored by Conagra Brands Foundation and in partnership with Food Bank for the Heartland, was added to the Holiday Lights Festival in 2007.
