Our Annual Senatorial Dinner is a formal banquet that takes place every spring. It is an evening of leadership, advocacy, and impact!

Our 2026 Senatorial Dinner will be held at The Embassy Suites by Hilton in downtown Lincoln, NE on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026.

Dress & Event Planning

Senatorial Dinner is a time to look your best! Many guests wear business formal attire or something formal yet comfortable. We will have a photobooth for guests to capture the fun and celebration of Nebraska disability advocates, so plan to be photo ready.

This is also a time The Arc of Nebraska fundraises contributions to support our mission. If you feel called to give, we will have an electronic giving portal and physical envelopes for guests to participate.

 

Parking

You will find parking at nearby downtown parking garages. There are two parking garages next to the hotel. (One to the west & one to the east.) The overnight rate is $13.50 & the hourly rate is $1.50/hr.
