(Omaha, NE) -- The Maha Festival will be moving in 2024.
On Thursday, festival organizers announced that starting next year Maha will be held at downtown Omaha’s renovated Heartland of America Park at The RiverFront. Organizers say the park will allow Maha to expand its festival, including room for three music stages and twice as many Community Village booths. Next year's festival is scheduled for July 26 and 27, 2024.
The move marks a return to its roots for the festival, which started in 2009 on the Omaha riverfront. Maha moved to Aksarben Village two years later as it grew, which is where this summer’s festival will be held on July 28 and 29, 2023. Maha is expected to be one of the biggest ticketed events at the new park, with an estimated 20,000 attendees over two days.
“Maha is all about bringing people together, and we have had so much fun dreaming up how we can do that with even more people in this beautiful new space at Heartland of America Park,” said Maha Co-Director Rachel Grace.
“Maha is a great fit for Heartland of America Park and our shared vision of bringing people together in culturally enriching spaces,” said Kristyna Engdahl, spokesperson for the Metropolitan Entertainment & Convention Authority, which operates The RiverFront. “We love that Maha has a proven record of building community and doing it in a sustainable manner, and we can’t wait to be Maha’s new home.”
