Omaha's biggest annual holiday production: the full orchestra with Broadway singers, dancers and choirs at the Holland Center.
Next: Dec 10–13, 2026 · Holland Performing Arts Center
The Omaha Symphony bills its Christmas Celebration as Omaha's biggest annual holiday production. The full orchestra teams up with Broadway singers and dancers, local choirs and young musicians for a show packed with carols, classics and festive production numbers.
It is staged at the Holland Performing Arts Center, the Symphony's downtown home, which is decorated for the season. The 2026 run has six performances from Thursday, Dec. 10, through Sunday, Dec. 13, including weekend matinees.
It is a dressy-but-relaxed night out and a great anchor for a December weekend in downtown Omaha, just a short walk from the Old Market and the Holiday Lights Festival displays.
The zoo's after-dark holiday light walk, with hundreds of glowing lanterns, cookie decorating, Santa and private igloos.
