During the summer, Seward's Municipal Band entertains weekly at Seward's outdoor band shell. The Seward County Agricultural Pavilion provides the community with a facility large enough to accommodate large social and business gatherings, along with fairs and auctions. In 1997, Concordia University dedicated a new 1,400-seat, $2.25 million track and field stadium. With 18 intercollegiate sports, the university's athletic schedule is a busy one year-round. Attending the Goehner Melodrama which has over 30 sold out dinner theatre performances each summer is a must.

Seward is Nebraska's Official 4th of July City! For complete information and a schedule of events, please visit the Chamber of Commerce website.
