Major Media Moments for Casa de la Cultura, Cinco de Mayo Omaha!

By Josefina Loza

Let’s give a standing ovation to our incredible client, Casa de la Cultura, for landing some truly stellar press in celebration of Cinco de Mayo Omaha, which is now in its jaw-dropping 105th year!

As South Omaha gears up for one of the biggest fiestas the city has ever seen, media across Nebraska spotlight the cultural heartbeat behind the scenes, and Casa de la Cultura is front and center. From championing Latino heritage to bringing arts, education, and joy to the community, their impact is being felt far and wide.

This year, Casa’s dedication caught the attention of several media outlets:

Most recently, KMTV 2 News Now Reporter Hannah McIlree checked out the Cinco de Mayo Omaha preparations underway along South 24th Street Thursday evening. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Mexican festivals in South Omaha. In Hannah’s reporting, she shares how the festival highlights the neighborhood’s rich cultural history and vibrancy.

Earlier this week, KETV Newswatch 7 sat down with CEO Marcos Mora for a heartfelt interview with News Anchor Waverle Monroe, shining light on what this festival truly means to the community.

The Fremont Tribune and UNO’s Gateway shared how Cinco de Mayo Omaha is more than a big celebration, it’s a powerful moment of unity.

The Omaha World-Herald celebrated the scale and spirit of the event with nods to the many cultural contributions that make it unforgettable.

Nebraska Public Media explored the festival’s century-long legacy and Casa’s vital role in preserving that history.

This kind of recognition isn’t luck. It’s legacy in motion.

We are incredibly proud to support Casa de la Cultura’s storytelling journey as they elevate South Omaha’s rich traditions for the next generation and beyond. We’re scheduled to give an exciting walking tour of the South Omaha business district and Cinco de Mayo vendors tomorrow with media and social media influencers. Stay tuned for photos and videos.
