Popular festivals and social events in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is always beautiful. At any time of the day and time of year. But sometimes you need a kind of reboot in order not to dull it into the world of excitement and sin. We present to your attention a few interesting events in Las Vegas that will help you have a little fun.

• Electric daisy carnival

EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) is the biggest carnival you've ever seen. The territory of the Las Vegas freeway is transformed into one large adult playground full of wild rides, inventions and the best artists in its industry. The festival lasts three days and runs every May / June.

• iHeart Radio Music Festival

Here you will find all your favorite pop and hip-hop artists under one roof. Every September, the event gathers thousands of people in one place.

The festival occupies the southern part of the city for two days with a large number of leading artists. Major performances include Coldplay, The Weeknd, Christ Stapleton and Pink on the first day. Second day headliners are DJ Khaled, Miley Cyrus, Kings of Leon and Big Sean.

• Life is beautiful

Life is Beautiful is a truly unique festival. Do not believe? Well, what about calling another festival that can take over 18 blocks in downtown Las Vegas for three days in September each year?

Yes, we thought so. Life is Beautiful was born in 2013 as part of a large-scale transformation of Las Vegas as a cultural center. Many have performed here, including Kanye West, Foo Fighters, Lorde, Duran Duran and Tegan & Sara. Just stroll through the city center and enjoy its magnificence.

• Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival

This year in the center of Las Vegas will be held a significant festival, in which the punks return with a stunning composition. Iggy Pop is the main headliner, and his manic energy charges not only fans, but also opponents of punk rock.

Punk Rock Bowling is a music festival based in Las Vegas in 1999 by brothers Sean and Mark Stern.

This fusion of rockers, bowling enthusiasts, activists, the music industry and a large number of casual viewers who just want to see what all the noise is about. When thousands of punks gather in one place, it’s a real sight, we can assure you.

• Epicurean affair

More than 70 restaurants get together to give you the ultimate gourmet experience. You see, you will fall into the food coma from the abundance of yummy. Forget about the perfect relief body and indulge in a delicious food celebration for several May days.

Of course, no tasting event would be complete without first-class chefs, mixologists and other culinary masters. From the first sips to the last bites, this is something that should not be missed.

• RiSE Lantern Festival

Las Vegas is not only lunch and party. Sometimes you just need to relax your soul. And what could be better than to go into the desert and visit the festival of flying lanterns. No roaring music, no annoying service, no alcohol and a screaming crowd. Here you will remain only a couple with your thoughts.

• Route 91 Harvest Festival

More than 50 headliners such as Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Big & Rich, Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line and others help organize a three-day country music festival each fall. Those who said that village boys and girls do not like to have a good time, obviously, have never been to the Route 91 festival.

• Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival

Okay, maybe Coachella is technically not in Vegas, but she is damn close. And when will it be possible to mention this magnificent three-day celebration of good music?

A quick four-hour car ride from Las Vegas Boulevard takes you to a place where Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bjork, Jack Johnson, Beyoncé and almost all the other great (and not so great) artists of the world performed. The festival takes place at the weekend in April.
