The Taste of Omaha presented by Cox is an event focused on showcasing over 50 of Omaha's favorite food establishments. The festival is designed to allow our crowds, typically 100,000 patrons each year, to savor the restaurants' specialties whether they try a small "Taste" or a full entree.

Each year, the festival aims to highlight a diverse selection of Omaha's restaurants. From Mexican to burgers, ribs to gyros, you can find it all at the Riverfront Parks.

Here's your chance to get your specialties into the mouths that matter. This is a great marketing opportunity for restaurants. Participating restaurants tend to receive a great bounce back with increased business and brand exposure immediately following the festival. Although we want you to have a positive experience onsite, our goal is to drive business back to your locations to expose our festivalgoers to your complete menu and turn them into repeat customers.
