For over three decades Septemberfest has been turning downtown Omaha into a five day carnival of family fun, food and entertainment. Billed as a "Salute to Labor," there are plenty of options to keep any attendee from actually working as we pass the traditional summer's end signpost of Labor Day and head for the fall.
There are nearly too many events to name but here's a quick rundown: a carnival, five nights of live music, a food garden, fire safety demonstrations and a firefighters competition, a car show, horse and buggy rides--take a breath--a poker tournament, a Muay Thai match, more food, and, finally, the annual Labor Day parade featuring the United States Air Force Heartland of America Band.
But the one event that really has my mouth watering? The first ever Ribeye Steak Cook-off on Monday. It doesn't get much more "Omaha" than that.
Septemberfest kicks off on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. and runs through Monday.
