About Heartland of America Park at the Riverfront

Heartland of America Park at the Riverfront is a premier public urban park component of The RiverFront in downtown Omaha. Opened originally in September 1990 and renovated with expanded spaces, it reopened on August 18, 2023, offering a spacious ~100,000-square-foot event lawn for outdoor concerts and gatherings, plus a lakeside amphitheater that accommodates approximately 200–250 attendees. This venue blends natural scenery with city accessibility, making it a favorite for festivals like Maha Festival and community events.

Located at 800 Douglas St, Omaha, NE 68102, the park is designed for easy access, flexible event planning, and a welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re attending a festival, a community concert, or a large outdoor gathering, Heartland of America Park provides a versatile backdrop with modern amenities and practical logistics.
