Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Thursday, July 3, 2025. We are waking up with high energy across the city as folks gear up for another Independence Day. Let’s start with the big news on this holiday week. If you are planning to catch fireworks, Ralston’s Independence Day Celebration has moved its fireworks show to tonight at 10. That is right, the metro's favorite tradition happens one day early this year at Ralston Arena. Expect big crowds and plenty of excitement as people flow into Ralston along 72nd Street. The city's famous parade follows tomorrow at 1 in the afternoon, and organizers hope this new schedule lets even more families join in the celebration while easing up on the traffic jams of July fourth itself. Mayor Groesser says the move is all about making the fun more accessible for everyone in Omaha and the surrounding areas.

On the community calendar, we are proud to share that Omaha is hosting the 2025 Biennial Mission Summit at the Hilton Hotel and Convention Center downtown from today through Sunday. This is a national event expected to bring hundreds of visitors and vibrant gatherings. Local leaders are excited to welcome one of the most diverse faith communities in the country right here in our city center.

Weather is shaping up to be a major player in our plans today. We are looking at warm temps, just shy of 90 by the afternoon. It will feel a bit humid, but right now, there is only a slight risk of pop-up showers—perfect for those outdoor celebrations and fireworks tonight if you keep cold water nearby.

If you work at the University of Nebraska or know someone who does, today is an extra special start to the long weekend. University system leadership just announced that all leave-eligible employees get today off as an extra paid leave day, calling it a thank you for the hard work and commitment shown over the past year. That is a welcome break for many folks across the campus community ahead of the holiday tomorrow.

North Omaha is seeing a little buzz as Ollie’s Bargain Outlet just opened its first Nebraska store on North 90th Street. Neighbors are checking out the discounted finds, and the opening is creating new jobs just in time for the summer shopping rush.

In education news, Millard Public Schools is actively soliciting competitive bids as part of a federal technology program, aiming to boost wireless access in local classrooms. It is a small glimpse into how our schools are pushing for better connectivity for students.

As we look at public safety, no major incidents are reported overnight. The Omaha Police Department reminds everyone to drive safe, especially with extra foot traffic around city parks and big events over the next two days.

On a feel-good note, volunteers at local shelters have coordinated to make sure families in need have access to food and cool spaces during this heat, a testament to neighborly care we see each summer.

This has been Omaha Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
