For a decade, the Benson First Friday has fostered local art, music, and community engagement in Omaha, growing from a small gathering into a significant cultural event. The monthly art walk and community event, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, now draws crowds from across the city and beyond to experience the Benson Creative District, according to the Benson Neighborhood Association. Benson First Friday events typically take place on the first Friday of each month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.
