Omaha’s Maha Festival cancels festivities due to ‘industry-wide’ inflation

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – An annual outdoor music festival in Omaha will be silent in 2024.

Maha Festival announced Thursday that this year’s event would be canceled due to “industry-wide” cost increases.

The event was scheduled for July 26 and 27 at Heartland of America Park.

1/5 Maha Festival is setting the stage for an even brighter future. After careful consideration, we’ve decided to pause in 2024, ensuring our return is more vibrant than ever.

Officials said the festival will return “stronger, more joyful, and more united” in 2025.  Fans are asked to “stay tuned” for updates.

Last year’s festival included acts like Turnstile, Big Thief and Alvvays.
