First Fridays Canceled by Storm | Omaha News

First Fridays in Omaha got drenched — literally — when a sudden storm forced cancellation of the July 3rd event at Gene Leahy Mall, despite eager crowds and planned live music, dance, and family fun. Mayor John Ewing was set to speak, and community groups like the Nebraska Humane Society were already out enjoying the vibe before the skies turned. But don’t fret — three more First Fridays are still on tap for August, September, and October. Meanwhile, the RiverFront’s Omaha Symphony tribute to country music has been rescheduled to Sunday. And the big Independence Day celebration is still happening Saturday, with a patriotic concert and fireworks — now live-streamed on KETV starting at 7 PM. Weather may have derailed one night, but Omaha’s summer events are far from over.
