1. SAVE THE DATE! The Omaha Summer Arts Festival is pleased to announce new dates for 2011. The 37th annual festival will be held June 10, 11 and 12 on Farnam Street in downtown Omaha. The move is being made to accommodate the opening of the new TD Ameritrade Park. With the College World Series relocating in 2011, Farnam Street will provide direct access to westbound travel out of the downtown area. As a result, the Festival was asked to change its dates to avoid traffic congestion.

Ordinarily this event is held on the last weekend of June. The festival layout features artists' booths interspersed with sidewalk cares and local gallery markets, enabling festival-goers to shop while they enjoy artist demonstrations and a sampling of wonderful food.
