Looking for something fun to do this holiday season? Check out some of the festive events hosted by a few of UNMC’s community partners.
The Durham Museum and Joslyn Art Museum provide free museum admission for UNMC employees, students, and their immediate family with a valid identification badge. As always, there will be several holiday events geared to the entire family.
At The Durham Museum, enjoy loads of entertainment and celebrate Christmas at Union Station beginning with the tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 23. Visit Santa, enjoy holiday music under the glow of The Durham’s Christmas tree and celebrate Noon Year’s Eve with the family.
At the Joslyn, enjoy a holiday concert series every Wednesday and Friday at noon from Dec. 5-21. On Jan. 5, staff and students are invited to a Block Party to contribute to the Omaha Modern Quilt Guild’s “improv quilt.” Participants of all ages may design and sew a quilt square from fabric scraps. Guild members will combine the squares to form a finished quilt for display in January.
The Omaha Symphony is offering a discount to members of the UNMC community to its 2018-2019 season, which includes “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert” on Nov. 24 and 25, and “Physicians Mutual Omaha Symphony Christmas Celebration,” which runs Dec. 8-16. The promotional code “UNMC” offers a 20 percent discount to the shows.
In addition to these events, be sure to check out the holiday happenings at the Omaha Community Playhouse, Rose Theater, Lauritzen Gardens, and Fontenelle Forest.
