OMAHA SHOWCASE

Grab your blanket, lawn chair, and favorite drink for our annual Crossroads Showcase in downtown Omaha’s Premiere Outdoor Venue, Gene Leahy

🌟🌆 Omaha, get ready for a festival night like no other.

OMAHA SHOWCASE: Festival Stars brings together an electrifying lineup of Crossroads artists from around the world—right to the RiverFront.

The 2026 Omaha Showcase brings the full Crossroads energy to Gene Leahy Mall for one unforgettable summer night. Hip hop collective Dream Warriors—Mic Jordan, Tall Paul, Gunner Jules, and TONE—lead the evening with powerful lyricism rooted in Native experience, community, and joy. They’re joined by Cuban ensemble Mixed Harmony, channeling old-Havana dance floors with timeless son and bolero, and tabla virtuoso Sandeep Das with sitarist Rajib Karmakar, weaving dazzling improvisations between South Asian classical and global grooves.

Between sets, Omaha poet Jewel Rodgers shares original spoken word, food trucks line the park with local favorites, and families, friends, and festival artists mingle under the lights.

🌳 Pack a picnic, gather your crew, and experience world-class music under the city lights.
