WELCOME WHAT’S NEW 2021 marks the centennial of Nebraska’s state parks , a fun fact we’re celebrating throughout this guide. In particular, you’ll notice a flip-book character — whom we’ve affectionately dubbed “Flip” — in the upper right corner of every page. Flip through the guide from front to back, and you’ll witness his adventures across the state. But he can’t have all the fun. Start your own adventure by flipping to page 14. ! Soooo NOT BORING: The Santee Sioux Powwow is held each year on the third weekend in June in Santee, but you can discover Native American culture and heritage across Nebraska.
