Lincoln Loves Locals Returns September 17, 2026

Mark your calendars! Lincoln Loves Locals is returning on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and we can't wait to celebrate the businesses, community members, and supporters who help make Lincoln such a wonderful place to call home.

Hosted by The HUB Central Access Point for Young Adults, Lincoln Loves Locals is a community-centered fundraiser designed to celebrate the locally owned businesses that contribute so much to our city while raising awareness and financial support for young people working toward brighter futures.

This year's event will be held at the beautiful Prairie Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Guests can enjoy an evening filled with local flavor, community connection, and opportunities to support The HUB's mission of providing unconditional support and access to services for young people as they become productive, independent, and active members of the community.

Funds raised through Lincoln Loves Locals help bridge critical gaps not covered by grants and contracts, ensuring that young adults have access to the resources, support, and opportunities they need to achieve their goals. From education and employment assistance to housing support and peer services, every dollar raised helps The HUB continue serving young people across our community.

Whether you're a longtime supporter of The HUB, passionate about supporting local businesses, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend an evening in Lincoln, Lincoln Loves Locals is an event you won't want to miss.

Tickets go on sale in mid-July! Be sure to follow The HUB on social media and watch our website for ticket information, event updates, and exciting announcements about participating businesses, sponsors, and silent auction items.

We look forward to celebrating all things local with you on September 17!
