I have lived in Omaha for over 13 years and it wasn't until recently that I realized that there are so many great things to do here in the city for FREE. I have compiled a list below which describes some great free events going on specifically at Midtown Crossing here in Omaha. These events are great for anybody and everybody and have I mentioned they're free? It doesn't get better than that!
