The Organizing Committee is making preparations for the 2023 Festival.

The purpose of the Native Omaha Days Organizing Committee is to “Honor our African-American Culture, History, People and serve as a catalyst for the ongoing revitalization of North Omaha.” Its mission: “Native Omaha Days Festival is a week long, international and cultural celebration and reunion, bringing Native Omahans and friends together for fun, food, music and the revitalization of North Omaha”. Celebrated by many, Native Omaha Days Festival shows the deep ties that bind the City of Omaha’s African American community.
