Full ticket details
Find your way into Pride 2026.
Four ways to be part of the day — from the daytime festival to a front-row seat at the show. Here's what each pass unlocks.
Festival Day Pass
$26Spend the day where Omaha's LGBTQIA+ community comes together. Your Festival Day Pass opens the doors to the Holland and Tenaska Centers, where 200+ exhibitors turn out to celebrate and support the community — alongside local makers and small businesses sharing their craft and finds. Wander the vendor show, catch live local performers, jump into karaoke, and soak up a full day of color, connection, and Pride energy.
Show Only Pass
$31The night belongs to all of us. Your Show Only Pass gets you into the evening show at Steelhouse Omaha, headlined by Margaret Cho, Sasha Colby, Nina West, and RealXman — with local performers lighting up the stage throughout the night. One unforgettable evening of comedy, drag, and live performance you'll be talking about long after Pride weekend.
All Access Pass
$36Make a full day of it. The All Access Pass is the complete Heartland Pride experience — the daytime festival at the Holland and Tenaska Centers and the headline evening show at Steelhouse Omaha. Daytime community and connection, nighttime celebration and entertainment, all in one ticket. Quite possibly the best way to celebrate Pride 2026 in Omaha.
VIP All Access Pass Limited number
$148The full day, elevated. VIP takes everything in the All Access Pass — the festival and the show at Steelhouse Omaha — and adds the extras that make the night effortless: a dedicated VIP bar at Steelhouse so you skip the crowds, complimentary snacks, and an exclusive meet & greet with headliners Margaret Cho, Nina West, and Sasha Colby. Limited availability — when it's gone, it's gone.
Availability may be limited — buy early, especially VIP and the evening show.
