Buffalo Bill Cody gave North Platte a heritage of western hospitality when he used his Scouts Rest Ranch as the headquarters for the Wild West Show. North Platte has continued that tradition throughout our history right up to today.
When you visit North Platte, you’ll hear the story of the North Platte World War II Canteen, where 55,000 volunteers from rural Nebraska met all of the troop trains coming through on the mainline of the Union Pacific Railroad. By the end of the war more than 6.5 million service men and women were treated to North Platte’s western hospitality.
That tradition of hospitality is celebrated each year in June with NEBRASKAland DAYS. Join us for two fun-filled and action-packed weeks of western excitement. There are rodeos, parades, shoot-outs, concerts, art, food and lots more fun to choose from. Throughout the year, celebrations and festivals abound in and around North Platte. The Country Bluegrass Show, Sutherland’s 4th of July Celebration, Brady Days, the Fall Fun Fest and Autumn Art Festival just to name a few. Check out our Calendar of Events page for complete listings.
So on behalf of the City of North Platte and all of the communities in Lincoln County, we would like to extend a warm greeting to you.
Please feel free to stop by or contact
our office for ideas about things to see and do, places to stay and eat, and information about how to make your stay more fun!
