Neon City Festival Returns to Las Vegas With Fat Joe, Kaskade, Marshmello and More

Neon City Festival is set to bring three days of free entertainment to downtown Las Vegas this November. The 2026 event will combine major live performances with local food and drinks and art installations as well as laser shows and immersive experiences across a five-block area. With Fat Joe, Kaskade, Marshmello, Subtronics and The Fray among the first artists announced, more acts are expected to join the lineup in the coming weeks.

According to a press release from the organizers of Neon City Festival, this year’s edition will take place in downtown Las Vegas Nov. 20–22.

An exciting first look at this year’s headlining artists includes Fat Joe, Kaskade, Marshmello, Subtronics and The Fray. Presented in partnership with Premier Partners the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), Fremont Street Experience (FSE), and Audacy, the free, all-ages event will once again transform the heart of Las Vegas into an open-air playground featuring world-class live music, local food and beverage vendors, art installations, and immersive entertainment experiences.

The “festival without fences” will once again span across the Fremont Street Experience’s three stages and the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, creating an expansive five-block footprint that fills downtown with music, food, art and entertainment at every turn.

In addition to the music, Neon City Festival will feature food and drink specials from local Las Vegas favorites, captivating laser shows, pop-up art activations, and The Canopy™ at Fremont Street Experience, illuminated with dazzling neon visuals that electrify the festival atmosphere.

Created by downtown Las Vegas casino owner Derek Stevens—with support from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)—and overseen by appointed Neon City Festival CEO Jeff Victor, the event was conceived to show appreciation for Las Vegas locals and visitors alike.
