Neon City Festival in is back! It’s wild that one of the best weekends of the year in Downtown Las Vegas is totally free and open to all ages…and still feels like a fully curated, high-quality festival that you’d expect to pay for. It's giving pre-2020 Vegas vibes, in the way that Vegas hosted a lot of events, experiences, and even food/drink events that were FREE, but gave high quality. You could leave feeling fulfilled without breaking your pockets.

In its 2nd year, we are once again impressed by the caliber of talent the festival books, and we absolutely LOVE the inclusion of high quality, ORIGINAL, Vegas artists! Big shout out to all the Vegas acts on the bill this year:

The Official Pre-Party at Golden Gate

Before we even hit the festival grounds, we’re kicking things off with The Night Starts Here at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino—your nightly warm-up with open bar and free play giveaways.

From 6–7PM, enjoy FREE DRINKS at Bar Prohibition! and soak in that classic Fremont energy.

And yes—the giveaway is real: up to $1,000 in free play per person.

What Exactly Is Neon City Festival?

A free festival, by and for LAS VEGAS.

From November 21–23, Downtown Las Vegas transforms into an open-air playground—no fences, no tickets needed, just great music, for free.
