Tickets Are On Sale for Lincoln Loves Locals!

Mark your calendars for an evening of great food, local flavors, live music, and community impact! The HUB Central Access Point for Young Adults is excited to invite you to Lincoln Loves Locals, presented by Union Bank & Trust, on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the beautiful Prairie Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast.

Located just 15 minutes outside of Lincoln, Prairie Creek Inn provides the perfect setting to relax, connect with friends, and celebrate everything that makes our community special. As the sun sets over the native prairie, you'll enjoy an evening filled with local favorites while making a meaningful investment in the lives of young adults in our community.

Guests will enjoy live music by Back Alley Betties, handcrafted cocktails served by 86 Bar Staffing, refreshing botanical elixirs from Arise Botanicals, and an incredible menu of heavy appetizers and indulgent desserts prepared by Black Sheep Fusion. Throughout the evening, attendees can also browse and bid on a silent auction featuring unique, locally curated baskets and experiences.

More than just a fun night out, Lincoln Loves Locals is an opportunity to change lives.

For the past 20 years, The HUB has provided unconditional support and programming for young people ages 14–24 who are navigating adulthood without the family support many of us take for granted. Many of the young adults we serve have experienced homelessness, foster care, pregnancy or parenting, involvement with the juvenile justice system, or other circumstances that leave them disconnected from the resources and relationships they need to succeed.

The HUB exists to fill that gap. Through education, housing support, employment assistance, peer support, and individualized guidance, we help young adults build the skills, confidence, and stability needed to become productive, independent, and active members of our community.

When you purchase a ticket to Lincoln Loves Locals, you're doing more than attending an event—you are investing in brighter futures for young adults right here in our community.

Tickets are $35 per person and are available through September 11. We encourage you to purchase your tickets early and invite your family, friends, or coworkers to join you for this special evening.

We are deeply grateful to the businesses and organizations whose generosity makes this event possible.
