This includes our NASP events, the Fort Kearny Expo, NOEC events, community fishing events, Schramm Education Center events, wildlife brewery events, hunter education courses, the outdoor discovery program, park events, or any other event that requires a gathering of individuals. Nebraska State Parks and recreation areas remain open for day-use and camping.

The annual Fort Kearny Outdoor Expo showcases the state’s vast number of fun outdoor activities at beautiful Fort Kearny State Recreational Area. This free event is designed to meet the needs of anyone interested in an outdoor lifestyle, regardless of age or experience.
