194. Maggie Winton on 50th Annual Omaha Summer Arts Festival

The Omaha Summer Arts Festival is a weekend-long,
annual celebration of the city’s culture. The festival includes
an artist market with more than 130 vendors, a lineup of local
musicians, and lots of local food. This year’s festival is June 7
through June 9 in Aksarben Village, and it’s a milestone: number
50.


Today, Michael is speaking with Maggie Winton, the Omaha Summer
Arts Festival’s marketing manager. She’s here to give a rundown
of the festival’s 50-year history, how it adapted during the
pandemic, and the future of the festival as a bridge between
artists and the wider community.
