Colors, music, language, religion, traditions, and food from the Latino culture now permeate 24th Street. While Latinos have been part of the scene here since WW1, today the evidence is overwhelming. The cultures of the past – German, Irish, Czech, Polish – now exist in the stories of descendants of European immigrants who patrolled the street from the early 1900s thru the late 1980s.

RELIGION – Ethnic churches provide some of the greatest evidence of the American immigrant experience – St. Agnes, Assumption, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Bridget’s, St. Martin of Tours…

LANGUAGE – Spanish predominates today, so get ready to learn some new words and phrases! By the way, the only Danish language newspaper in the United States was published in Omaha in the Neble building which is north of our tour district near 24th and Deer Park Boulevard.

TRADITIONS (food, clothes, holidays…) – St. Patrick’ s Day and Cinco de Mayo exist side-by-side on South 24th Street and along Q Street in South Omaha.
