Smut & Sangria

Smut & Sangria is Nebraska’s unapologetically spicy spin-off of Books & Booze Fest — a night made for readers who like their stories steamy and their drinks sweet.
Join for an evening celebrating romance, dark romance, fantasy, and all things deliciously inappropriate. Sip on sangria while you browse smutty books, meet authors, shop bookish vendors, and vibe with fellow readers who also pretend they “read it for the plot.”
✨ What to expect:
Smut & romance authors (signed books encouraged 👀)
Authors from 4 different states: Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Oklahoma!!
Bookish and reader-focused vendors
Sangria + bar options available for purchase
Interactive bookish fun (yes, there may be surprises)
A romance book swap – bring books or take books or both!
A community book drive
A judgment-free zone for spice lovers
🔥 This is a 18+ event.
If you blush easily… this might not be your scene.
If you dog-ear spicy pages and stay up way too late reading “one more chapter”… welcome home.
Grab your tickets, bring your bookish besties, and come indulge in a night of smut, sangria, and scandalous fun.

This holiday season, Light the Table is more than a moms’ night out, it’s a movement of love and community.
We’re coming together to fill tables, fuel hearts, and help Omaha families thrive.

The table is where life happens. We eat, talk, cry, share stories, and reconnect after long days.

For moms, it’s not just a physical space, it’s a symbol of connection and care that often gets lost in the chaos.

“Light the Table” represents:

Lighting your own flame again because moms pour so much into others, this is a night to refill your cup.

Coming together with warmth moms, caregivers, and friends connecting without judgment.

Feeding families who need it most every “light” shared that night helps another family’s table shine a little brighter.

So, it’s self-care with purpose lighting your inner flame while helping others keep theirs burning.

50% of your ticket sale and 100% of raffle proceeds will directly support Brighten Our Future Early Learning Center, a local organization providing affordable, high-quality early childhood education and care for all children, regardless of economic or social status.

Yelp – Beyond The Bite (21+)

Are you ready to go beyond the bite? Come hungry to Omaha’s first-ever, can’t-miss food and drink fest here at the Luminarium, hosted in partnership with Yelp Omaha, Made in Omaha, and Fig café.

They’re taking foodie fun to the next level, inviting you to sample signature Omaha flavors alongside interactive experiences throughout the museum.

Connect with adventurous Yelpers, fuel curiosity, and be a part of an unforgettable gourmet adventure that’s so much more than a tasting, it’s a hands-on celebration of Omaha’s vibrant food scene!

Night Light | The Unknown: Edge of Reality (21+)

This October, Night Light (21+) takes you through the veil, beyond the known, and into the realms of mystery. In the season that blurs the boundaries between the living and the dead, we’re exploring underworlds, outerworlds, and the limits of human knowledge. Come in costume and be prepared for a mind-expanding evening! 

We’re embracing scientific and intuitive ways of knowing, celebrating the pursuit of understanding in all its forms. What insights does a death doula gain from witnessing life’s final moments? Is it possible to gather scientific evidence of ghosts? Are we alone in the universe?   

Join us for an eerie evening as we test the limits of the known, dance with the darkness, and explore the many mysteries that keep us up at night.
