Las Vegas is gearing up for a day of community solidarity on Saturday, March 15, with a Peace Walk and Family Fun Festival. Commissioner Justin Jones, Tick Segerblom, and April Becker are joining forces with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Spring Valley Area Command and Clark County School District Family Engagement to present these events aimed at tackling gang violence and fostering unity among residents. The events are open to the public at no cost, and everyone is encouraged to participate in the day's activities.

The day will begin at noon with a Peace Walk, which will start from the 7-Eleven parking lot located at 3033 S Arville St. The walk will move through six apartment complexes that have been notably affected by gang-related issues impacting students in the surrounding schools, such as Clark High School and Cashman Middle School. After the walk ends, the Family Fun Festival kicks off at 1:00 p.m. at Cashman Park, with the entrance on Sirius Ave, providing a range of activities and resources until 3:00 p.m. According to the Clark County event announcement, "the event aims to foster unity, provide resources, and create positive community engagement."

Efforts to engage the community through these events come as a direct response to the increasing concern over gang activity and its consequences in the area. This initiative not only seeks to bring residents together but also to deliver essential information and support through the various services and activities that will be available at the Family Fun Festival following the Peace Walk.

For those seeking more information or wishing to spread the word, bilingual event flyers are available. The Super Saturday Family Fun Festival Flyer is accessible in both English and Spanish. Visit Clark County website.
