A celebration of the places, projects, and stories that shape our city
Saturday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4, 2024 | FREE ADMISSION
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Design is used in many ways at Lauritzen Gardens, from the style of our buildings to the layout of our landscapes and from the choice of plantings to the sculpture placement. Discover Omaha's public garden on a self-guided visit, or choose from some of our guided tours to learn more about Omaha's public garden.
Admission is FREE all weekend long. Come celebrate with us (and then go discover 60+ other participating venues throughout the weekend).
