All of this food was courtesy of Ameristar's Casino.. surprising! The gazpacho, sliders, and ice cream were super good.

Heck, I can remember going to it as a kid, teenager, etc. Aside from the new location, not much has changed. Tons of art and artisan vendors from across the region, all selling unique goods that you might even earn a spot in your home if the price is right. There is also live music, entertainment, and quite a few food options. All free to attend, baking in the summer heat. Gotta love it.

The beer tent was blocking over half of the screen on that side! I didn't get any good pictures because I couldn't see well enough!

The service was great, people working were very kind to me as I needed to sit and take a breather while my wife was getting the chairs for us to put up down in the ADA section near the stage. The gate worker got me a chair to sit in and wait for her, this was very kind and helpful! The sound at this venue is a bit off, a band that I know has great vocals and sound sounded funny and not like their voices were carrying like they usually do. I also would like to say that the ADA section could really be better. It's VERY hard to see as a person in a wheelchair. Being unable to stand up for long periods of time, I couldn't see for a majority of the show. It was frustrating especially when people would walk in front of me, stand directly infront of where I am sitting, and talk, not even watching the show. The ADA section needs to have a clear view of the stage as it is unfair to those who have disabilities to give up a nice time because the venue cannot provide a space where they are accommodated.

Great to see so many homebrews - that was probably my favorite part about the whole thing. My only disappointment was there were not many black ales to sip on (my favorite), unless you were a VIP.

This year it was a bit sparse in terms of brewers. I did not see Blind Tiger, for instance, but Defiance was there. The Friday evening setup was really just OK. I even left a bit early. I handed out a bunch of swag and everybody I talked to was in good spirits. Friday has the Homebrew Expo and that is always solid. Saturday always has the VIP access and some one off specials for them. See you there!

I was pleasantly surprised with how well aksarben showed up - I have never been to Maha before so I didn't know what to expect, but it was generously supplied with vendors, events, and other fun things to do. I loved the music and the way they were able to set up the amphitheater, they had great artists and everyone seemed to have an awesome time. There was such a variety of vendors you didn't miss out on any one thing -- from chalk, to jewelry, to lotions, to thrift tees, to skateboarding and a whole entire area dedicated to crafts and art thanks to mill work, there was plenty to do and enjoy!! I personally didn't go all day or in the afternoon time, I could see how you could spend about 2-3 hours here but anything more than that would've been too much for me. It a was a beautiful night and a great environment, I wish the Ferris wheel was open longer so that we could've gotten a ride but the line was as long as the street! They also had free water which was awesome to see how they were trying their best to take care of everyone who came. I was impressed by this event and hope to return next year!

Main reason I loved this year is getting to see Belle & Sebastian live in Omaha. The crew from Glasgow is one of my longtime/all-time favorite groups and their set was magical. Really fitting/beautiful how the sun set behind the stage as they performed. Also saw The Faint for the first time in probably a decade and had to get down and dance -- because when you see The Faint, you dance. The drag I took from some rando dude's (tobacco ;]) joint helped with that. Hey it's what you do at music festivals. Great times all around and one of the best annual events in Omaha!
