Midwest Fest
December 19 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Midwest Fest’s Holiday Market is at Heartwood Park the first three weekends of December. Guests can shop for local goods in the new and beautifully decorated indoor event space at Heartwood Preserve, The Barn. Admission and parking for the event are free.
The Holiday Market will feature a rotating weekly lineup of more than 40 talented local and regional makers, artists and small businesses with a selection of handmade goods and one-of-a-kind gifts. There will be something new to shop for and discover each weekend, along with seasonal treats and holiday favorites from food vendors.
Festivities will include holiday caroling from Omaha Broadway Bar performers and a letter-writing station for kids to send their wish lists to the North Pole. Photos with Santa will be available from noon to 4 p.m. during each Holiday Market (families must bring their own device to take photos with Santa). Pet photos with Santa Paws will be available Dec. 13, and a Sensory Santa photo experience takes place from 8 to 10 a.m. on Dec. 5 and 19. Families interested in the Sensory Santa experience can email info@heartwoodomaha.com to request a reservation.
The outdoor ice-skating rink at Winterland at Heartwood Preserve will be open to provide free
