8-BIT Twig Fest
A portion of proceeds will be donated to PlantNebraska to support their mission to plant Nebraska for healthy people, vibrant communities and a resilient environment!

Twig Fest is proudly supported by Great Plains Nursery, our Education & Environmental Steward Partner. Through education and stewardship, they help grow healthy landscapes, strong communities, and a deeper connection to the Great Plains — values we’re proud to share.

Venue: Holland Ice at Baxter Arena

TWIG FEST 2026 - Registration Closed

10U and 12U teams will compete in a spirited weekend of hockey featuring a three-game guarantee plus championship game, with medals for 1st and 2nd place. Between games, players and families can explore educational resources and activities about Arbor Day and how simple acts of stewardship — like planting a tree — can create lasting impact.

Twig Fest 2026 is more than a hockey tournament — it’s a celebration of roots, growth, and community. Held right here in the birthplace of Arbor Day, Twig Fest honors Nebraska’s legacy of stewardship and environmental consciousness while inspiring the next generation to do the same — on and off the ice. 🌳

Date: Saturday, April 18 - Sunday, April 19, 2026
