Get ready, Omaha — Big Dreams is taking over Stinson Park on August 22! Big Dreams is a high-energy, family-friendly festival packed with live music, hands-on fun, and community celebration. This year's featured headliners include Peppa Pig and her brother George, along with the wildly energetic KOO KOO, bringing unforgettable entertainment to families across the region. Kick off the day with a fun run/5K for all ages and abilities, then let kids dive into a full activity zone with face painting, balloon artists, interactive experiences, creative maker stations, and nonstop discovery — all thoughtfully designed to celebrate children of all abilities and create a welcoming, inclusive experience for every family.
Add in amazing food trucks, local vendors, and family-focused organizations, and you’ve got a full day built for connection, creativity, and joy.

| Ready for What’s Next: Amelia’s Story |   |
Some of the most meaningful success stories at CRCC are the children who eventually outgrow the level of support we provide. Read more.
“In all honesty, because Amelia was able to receive such an integrated approach to care, I was able to continue working, her siblings were supported by a community beyond just our immediate family, and Amelia thrived,” said Amelia’s mom. “Amelia would not have the skills she has today, or be living so fully, if it weren’t for CRCC.”
