Patterned after gallery art walks in Portland and Seattle, the Las Vegas First Friday community arts festival is now in its 7th year. On the first Friday of each month from 6:00pm – 10:00pm, the eighteen blocks (18b) of the LV Arts District open so that visitors can hop from one gallery to the next to view amazing and innovated original artwork.

The monthly art festival includes outdoor performances from local bands, dance troupes, street performers, and craft artists. Each month there’s something new to discover at every turn. Walking thru the Arts District on First Friday evenings is a great way to share a full range of art experiences and discover some of the best work from local artists. First Friday is an ideal cultural experience for both visitors and locals, as well as a fun evening event suitable for the whole family.

The City of Las Vegas provides a free trolley service to facilitate your trip around the District. For further details on the monthly First Friday festival, trolley stops, and upcoming art displays, see www.firstfriday-lasvegas.org/
