The Entertainment Capital of the World is about to get more entertaining.
The inaugural Neon City Festival (NCF)—a first-of-its-kind music and culinary event—will take over the streets of downtown Las Vegas from November 22 to 24, 2024.
Reminiscent of Las Vegas’ most prolific festivals and entertainment moments, Neon City Festival is free for guests of all ages and will feature headlining talent across multiple musical genres, local food & beverage vendors, art shows, fireworks and much more.
Described as a festival without fences, the event will transform downtown Las Vegas into a sprawling, open-air playground. It will span the world-famous Fremont Street Experience and eclectic destinations within the Arts District, all the way down Las Vegas Blvd. to The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower.
Created by downtown Las Vegas casino owner Derek Stevens—with support from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)—and overseen by appointed Neon City Festival CEO Jeff Victor, the event was conceived to show appreciation for Las Vegas locals and visitors alike.
This particular weekend in Las Vegas is set to be exceptionally busy, so we wanted to create a major event that appeals to various ages and demographics. During the Neon City Festival, no matter where you are, your senses will be on overdrive. Whether it’s a mind-blowing performance from your favorite artists, incredible food or even a fireworks show, you’ll be captivated at every turn. We’re grateful to the Neon City Festival’s founding partners in downtown Las Vegas and the city of Las Vegas for their collaboration in bringing this vision to life. -Neon City Festival CEO Jeff Victor
Neon City Festival Highlights include:
A diverse range of headlining talent playing across multiple stages downtown, including Fremont Street Experience’s three stages and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center
Food and drink specials from local Las Vegas restaurants and bars
Captivating moments such as laser art shows, strolling entertainment and a special 3D-motion graphic show on “Viva Vision,” the world’s largest LED canopy screen
Citywide entertainment featuring block parties, pop-up performances, street festivals and surprises from beloved downtown attractions
Las Vegas has consistently proven itself an excellent destination for festivals of all sizes and types, whether centered around food, music, culture and more. Neon City Festival allows us to tap into NCF’s founding partners’ incredible offerings and combine them for the ultimate party weekend, featuring top-of-the-line entertainment and surprises. We can’t wait to kick off year one and, ideally, turn this into an annual event.- Derek Stevens
