The story

Omaha Jazz Experience in Omaha

The Omaha Jazz Experience typically brings touring jazz artists to Stinson Park for an outdoor July concert, as it did July 19, 2025. For 2026 only, organizers moved the event indoors to a December format before an announced return to its traditional outdoor July setting in 2027, reflecting a one-year experiment with the festival's usual structure.

The Omaha Jazz Experience has built its identity around bringing nationally recognized touring jazz artists to Stinson Park, a green space within the redeveloped Aksarben Village district, for an evening outdoor concert each July.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's willingness to temporarily abandon its established outdoor summer format for a single indoor December edition in 2026, with an explicit plan to return to July programming in 2027, is an unusual mid-run experiment that sets it apart from festivals that either never change format or abandon a format permanently

02

The mystery stays covered

In its standard form, the event brings nationally touring jazz artists to Stinson Park, an Aksarben Village green space, giving Omaha a dedicated outdoor jazz showcase distinct from the city's other jazz programming, such as the University of Nebraska Omaha's separate winter jazz festival

03

The city starts moving

The pairing of well-known headline jazz and R&B-adjacent artists in a relaxed outdoor park setting has been the event's core draw in its typical years
