  • On Dasher, On Blitzen, A Christmas Village comes to Falconwood Park in November, “Falconwood Frosty Nights – Christmas Village & Lights”!

    On Dasher, On Blitzen, A Christmas Village comes to Falconwood Park in November, “Falconwood Frosty Nights – Christmas Village & Lights”!

    BELLEVUE, NE – November 17, 2025 – In partnership with Santa and the North Pole, Falconwood Park is thrilled to announce the debut of Falconwood Frosty Nights – Christmas Village & Lights’, an all-new holiday experience opening November 2025 and running through New Year’s Day. Falconwood Park invites families, friends, and holiday lovers to step into an immersive Christmas wonderland unlike anything else in the Omaha metro.

    Stretching across 80 acres, Falconwood Frosty Nights will have some serious wattage and shine bright with an infinite number of lights, a dazzling lighted cherry tree forest, a 150-foot tunnel of lights, and dozens of decorated trees—including several towering 15, 25, and 50 feet tall in the central square.

    Highlights include:

    • Holiday Market with 20 cozy cabins filled with local and regional vendors featuring not only Christmas merchandise, but great finds for under the tree including candles, records, ornaments, books, toys and more.
    • Santa’s Village meet Santa at Hanke Hall – the 10,000 sq. ft. venue with indoor and outdoor fireplaces perfect for gathering and photo ops, and to enjoy warm cookies and festive drinks.
    • Family Fun like live reindeer, snowless sledding on a two-story slide, and character meet and greets.
    • Seasonal Entertainment with food trucks, Christmas music, and even an adult Santa Rave.
    • Festive Beverages specially crafted beverages in collaboration with Saro Cider, Glühwein, and other fun seasonal offerings.

    “Falconwood Park has always been about creating memories—whether through weddings, concerts, or festivals, Quinceañeras and even corporate events” says Brandon Miller, owner of Falconwood Park. Over the last couple of years he has given hundreds of tours to potential customers wanting to book one of three on-site venues and the comment he always gets is “wow, it’s like your own little town or village out here,” referring to the way the property lays out with winding roads, buildings, cabins and houses that open up in the center to a village square. “With Frosty Nights, we’re excited to offer Omaha a fully interactive Christmas village, where families can start a new holiday tradition.”

    The inspiration for Falconwood Frosty Nights grew from Miller’s vision to provide the community with more interactive Christmas experiences beyond your typical and often found drive-through holiday lights. Miller also took note of the fact that Halloween is such a big deal in the Omaha area with several, very successful pumpkin patches and numerous popular haunted houses but, “once we hit Christmas it seems like the most popular things to do are Christmas drive throughs or driving around looking at neighborhood Christmas lights but there aren’t as many interactive opportunities to get out and spend time as a family immersed in the holiday.” says Miller.

    With the expansion of Falconwood Park onto the former 200-acre Gene Eppley Salvation Army Camp property in recent years and upgrades to facilities like Hanke Hall, the dream of building a true winter village became reality. Hanke Hall, the main venue for this event, never had been heated or open during the winter months and needed to test out its new HVAC system to make sure it could survive a Nebraska winter. “With last year’s 20 degree below temps as a successful test, we are good to go for this upcoming winter,” says Miller.

    Tyler Owen, co-owner of Outlandia Music Festival, previously held at Falconwood Park until 2024, is a partner in the project. Owen came to appreciate how special the property is while producing the festival at the park and when Miller mentioned the idea of a Christmas Village at the Outlandia wrap-up meeting, Owen jumped right on board – he and his family have visited Christmas Markets all over the world and he thought it would be a phenomenal idea to bring something like this to the Omaha area.

    Falconwood Park is going big this holiday season—really big. “This year, we’re pulling out all the stops. Think sleigh-loads of lights, larger-than-life décor, and holiday magic around every corner. Our goal is to create an experience that brings joy, wonder, and a jolly good time for all that attend.” says Brandon Miller.

    The first shipment of decorations was so massive it required two extra storage units, with even more on the way. When Miller went to pick up the first order with his Grounds Manager, Jon McAtee, McAtee commented that this first order was double the size they stored to decorate 40 homes at a previous job. To bring the magic to life, Falconwood Park has teamed up with Mike Marlow of Lights for Christmas and Blingle to design and install a display filled with enough sparkle to rival Santa’s workshop. Additionally, according to Miller, another plus of bringing this event to the area is the opportunity to support a lot of local businesses. Providing the opportunity for makers, artisans and other small businesses, food trucks, too, to set up and open a shop for the Christmas season so to stay booked at a time when they maybe aren’t traditionally as busy.

    “We’ve brought Omaha ‘firsts’ before—like reviving drive-in movies,” Miller says. “Now, we can’t wait to welcome the community to a premier Christmas village and experience. And what we have planned for this year is just a start – we are planning to add more and bigger attractions for year two and beyond. And we still have some surprises to roll out later this year so stay tuned.

    Falconwood Frosty Nights – Christmas Village & Lights will be open for private event rentals and corporate holiday events January 2nd thru January 30th.

    Falconwood Park is a family owned arts and entertainment venue set on more than 200 acres in Bellevue, Nebraska, just south of downtown Omaha. Originally known as Sokol Park, the property was purchased by the Miller family in 2016 and later expanded after the 2019 floods to include the renovated Gene Eppley Camp and Retreat Center. Today the park hosts weddings, concerts, festivals, and outdoor movies, along with modern campgrounds, shaded recreation areas, and unique features like a vintage Ferris wheel. Named in honor of the area’s peregrine falcons and the park’s Czech heritage, Falconwood Park continues to grow as one of the region’s most sought-after outdoor destinations.
