Overview

This annual event, normally staged in late September, celebrates Omaha's rich western heritage and interesting history in a carnival-like atmosphere that will appeal to the entire family. The Roundup, which takes place on the AK-SAR-BEN grounds in central Omaha, includes a festival of events, a professional rodeo, stage shows, expositions, parades, kiddie rides and more. Each year, horseback riders from all over the region meet in western Nebraska and ride their steeds across the plains, ending in Omaha to kick off the event.
