2026 Beef Passport Features 60+ Locations

Kearney, NE (April 21, 2026) – Beef lovers across the state can once again hit the road in search of unforgettable meals as the 2026 Nebraska Beef Passport returns for another season.   

Hosted by the Nebraska Beef Council, the Nebraska Beef Passport invites participants to explore restaurants, meat markets and processors across the state, all while enjoying high-quality Nebraska beef. The program officially runs from May 1 through September 30.   

The passport is free and available in both digital and printable formats, making it easy for participants to plan their next beef-inspired adventure.   

“This program continues to grow because people genuinely enjoy getting out and experiencing great beef in communities across Nebraska,” said Adam Wegner, director of marketing for the Nebraska Beef Council. “It’s not just about the food but also discovering new places, supporting local businesses and celebrating the strength of Nebraska’s beef industry.”   

Participants can check in at each location by scanning a QR code through the mobile pass platform. Each stop earns points that can be redeemed for prizes, while also entering participants into the grand prize drawing. Those who collect 30 or more check-ins can earn a spot in the Beef Passport Hall of Fame, recognizing the most dedicated beef enthusiasts in the state.
