Arts & Culture
The Clark County Museum isn’t just honoring the holidays but is also paying tribute to Las Vegas’ history during the season with its annual Heritage Holiday celebration.
During December, the museum, 1830 S. Boulder Highway, is expected to take its historical homes on Heritage Street, which depict certain Las Vegas houses throughout the decades, and decorate them with traditional ornaments, lights and fixtures true to their time.
The talent will be stacked tall this weekend at Community Lutheran Church. After a five-year hiatus, “The Living Christmas Tree: A Celebration of Christmas in Song” is scheduled to return, featuring singers standing in rows resembling a Christmas tree.
The monthly First Friday arts festival returns from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday to the 18b Las Vegas Arts District. For more information, visit firstfridaylasvegas.com. Many area galleries plan exhibits opening Friday, and several are also open for preview Thursday. Activities and exhibits include:
For many Southern Nevada families, the Christmas season wouldn’t be right without taking in a Christmas-inspired performance at the College of Southern Nevada or University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This year’s holiday-related events include concerts of the orchestra, concert and big band varieties, choral concerts and even a madrigal dinner.
