LINCOLN, Neb. (October 2, 2023) - Nebraska Tourism is excited to announce the stops for the second edition of the Nebraska Holiday Passport. This holiday-centered version of our popular summer Passport will again showcase some of the best shopping, dining and holiday-ing in our state.
 
"With the success and excitement of last year’s first-ever Nebraska Holiday Passport, we can’t wait to continue with this year’s version," said John Ricks, Nebraska Tourism executive director. "We are looking forward to another great year for our stops and our holiday travelers."
