Christmas Time at the YMCA of Lincoln

The holiday season is here, and the air is filled with the joy of candy canes, peppermint mochas, twinkling Christmas lights, and holiday cheer. It’s a favorite time of year for many who relish the festive foods, celebrations, and even the classic Nebraska snowstorms. As we look ahead to the New Year, the season brings a sense of hope and reflection, adding to the excitement and warmth of the holidays.

For over 150 years, the YMCA of Lincoln has been a cornerstone of the community—a place where people come together, much like a family around a holiday table. With four facilities in Lincoln, along with YMCA Youth Sports and YMCA Camp Kitaki, the Y offers countless opportunities to create holiday memories. The YMCA invites you and your family to join them for another magical winter season.
