At the festival tickets are required for most vendors and you can only buy tickets with cash. Matthews says, while tickets have their perks.
“I think a couple of places may be a little high on the tickets and it needs to be more of a sampling that’s sort of how taste of Omaha started,” said Matthews.
12-year-old Benie Kaulgau says she has a sweet tooth so today is her time to try everything.
“I just had Dippin' Dots we came to hang out and just enjoy the festival..,” said Kaulgau.
