Grand Island is one of Nebraska’s largest cities and a hub for agribusiness and manufacturing in the center of the state. The ammunition maker Hornady is headquartered here, along with Chief Industries, and a large beef processing plant, grain companies and equipment dealers serve the surrounding farm country. The city is also home to the Nebraska State Fair, held each year at the end of summer, and has a large Hispanic and immigrant community that has shaped its restaurants and neighborhoods.
Grand Island is roughly two hours from Omaha and Lincoln, and the Central Nebraska Regional Airport just northeast of town makes it convenient for business travelers who need to visit plants, feedlots or growers across the region in a day. Flying private also suits crane watchers, since the Platte River just south of town is part of the sandhill cranes’ spring staging grounds. Visitors come for the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer, live horse racing at Fonner Park and the Crane Trust’s nature center along the Platte.

Things to do in Grand Island
When to go. Spring brings two of Grand Island’s highlights: the sandhill crane migration along the Platte, which peaks around mid-March, and the live racing season at Fonner Park. The Nebraska State Fair runs from late August through Labor Day. Summers are warm and humid with thunderstorms, fall is pleasant and busy with harvest, and winters are cold and windy.
