What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season with our Downtown Omaha Inc family 🎄✨

Tonight’s DOI holiday party at the historic Scottish Rite Omaha was filled with great conversations, warm connections, and true downtown spirit. We were honored to welcome our newest board member, First Lady Viv Ewing, and especially grateful that Mayor John W Ewing Jr friend of DOI, joined us fresh off his flight back to Omaha just to be with our community.

Moments like these remind us why downtown matters. It is about people, partnerships, and showing up for one another. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so memorable. Cheers to the Christmas and Holiday season and to an exciting year ahead for downtown Omaha 🍷🎉
