Downtown Stage (Life Is Beautiful)
The Downtown Stage is a Life Is Beautiful stage, and the festival takes over the streets and parking lots of Downtown Las Vegas for a weekend in late September. In past editions the city closed Fremont Street from 6th to 11th streets and the festival ran from 2pm to 1am each day. Downtown bus routes detour and nearby lots close from the week before, so plan on park and ride or a shuttle.
