What to do this weekend - July 16, 2026

Hi,

Welcome back to This Week In Lincoln. This is my regular Thursday round-up of local stuff to do. You can find the event calendar below. But first here's some other stuff to know:

  • A large coalition of state and local organizations — including Taco Tuesday Familia, Indivisible Lincoln and others — are organizing a rally and vigil for folks detained in the McCook immigration detention center. It's scheduled for noon to 2 pm on Saturday, August 15. (The address is 1797-1805 US-83, McCook, NE 69001.) Find more details here and tell your friends.
  • There's also a protest against ICE planned for 11 am this Saturday in Lincoln at the intersection of 33rd and O Street. You can find more details below.
  • On a less serious note: A Novel Idea is having a big summer sale this weekend! Go find some used books.

A reminder that you can submit things for future "What to do this weekend" posts. If you have events later in July and August, please tell me about them!

You can also just reach out and say hi. My email is tynanstewart@proton.me

I provide these weekly event roundups as a community service. They are free to everyone and always will be! But they do take a lot of time and effort to produce. If you find my work here valuable, please consider signing up for a paid subscription.

You'll help keep the newsletter sustainable to produce. Plus, becoming a paid supporter will give you access to future installments of The Good Life? column, where I make snarky comments about dumb shit happening in Nebraska.
