Midtown Omaha

Gifford Park is a 5.6 acre park and the centerpiece of the Gifford Park neighborhood. The park is named for Dr. Harold Gifford, Sr. who donated land for the green space back in 1912. The park was added to the Omaha park system in 1916 and currently stretches diagonally from 35th Avenue and Davenport Street to 33rd Street and Cass Street.

The Bank of the West Celebrates America Concert in Memorial Park is one of the largest community events in Omaha. The tradition has been alive since 1987, with FREE admission and a closing fireworks display encouraging crowds as large as 80,000 to attend. The event occurs every year around the July 4th holiday and encourages free-will donations to local charities in lieu of ticket fees, and includes involvement from local high school musicians, underscoring the community focus of the show.
