The arts extravaganza, which draws tens of thousands of enthusiasts each month from all over Southern Nevada and neighboring states, will celebrate this landmark milestone on Friday, October 5, 2012 from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.
Under new ownership since October 2011, the festival has seen significant growth with record attendance numbers, and has welcomed artists from the city, regionally and across the country, allowing them to showcase their work and partake in the urban renewal movement in Las Vegas.
"Since joining with First Friday in 2011, the incredible task of creating something each month for the city to enjoy has been so rewarding for our whole team," said First Friday Las Vegas Managing Partner Joey Vanas. "We're very proud of what First Friday has become and we'll continue to invest in growing the arts in our community and beyond."
