2018 July 5th Midtown Fireworks

It has been a long-standing tradition in the Midtown area of Omaha to have a July 5th fireworks show as part of the annual Independence Day celebration activities. This event, held at the Field Club of Omaha, has been enjoyed by numerous neighborhoods in the Midtown area, and has helped showcase our community to visitors from all over the Omaha metro, and families in from out-of-state.

This is only made possible through the generous funding we have received from members of our community, local businesses, and community organizations that are part of Midtown. Several years ago, a number of our funding sources reduced or eliminated their funding of the event, leaving the neighborhoods on the hook to come up with the ~$7,000-8,000 necessary to put the event going forward. We missed a year, but have been successful on getting this fantastic event back on the calendar the past two years, but only through the generosity of donors like you. We are fundraising to cover the costs for fireworks show itself (the costs from the pyrotechnic company, which also includes permits and insurance for the event), which is the majority of the expense (Field Club of Omaha does provide the location, security and cleanup at no cost to us).  We started with $2,500 in remaining funds raised in 2017 and are now working on the balance and have a long way to go.  

We hope that you will be able to join us in funding this showcase Midtown event this year!!

We believe in the tight community that Midtown Omaha has to offer, and we want to proudly dispaly that to the rest of Omaha and visitors to Omaha as part of celebrating America's Independence.  The small-town charm and front-porch feel of the neighborhoods is something we continue to foster, both through encouraging others to consider Midtown when choosing where to live and through demonstrating to the city, businesses, and investors that this is vibrant, actively growing part of the city that is worth continued investement in.
