GlowFest, a traveling illuminated-art attraction, is headed to Las Vegas this holiday season, promising large-scale light sculptures, themed walk-through zones, nightly performances and family programming. Organizers are pitching the show as a family-friendly holiday option that will offer photo-ready displays and evening entertainment for visitors of all ages. The announcement gives locals another non-gaming choice for seasonal outings alongside the city's long-running light shows.
According to GlowFest's official website, the Las Vegas edition is scheduled to open on December 20, 2025 and run into early March 2026, with nightly installations, a New Year’s celebration and special programming across the run. The site also teases themed zones inspired by land, ocean, heaven and a "wonderland," plus a Christmas costume parade, a food festival and children's activities.
As reported Monday by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, organizers are positioning GlowFest as a family-oriented walk-through festival that will add to the city's holiday offerings. The Review-Journal coverage notes the attraction is intended to appeal to both tourists and local families.
What to expect
GlowFest bills itself as an immersive walk-through exhibition where guests move between oversized illuminated sculptures and interactive displays. GlowFest’s website says visitors can expect themed photo areas, live performers, nightly parade elements and a lineup of food vendors and children's play zones.
How it fits in Las Vegas' holiday calendar
GlowFest will join perennial seasonal attractions such as Glittering Lights at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a drive-through display that features millions of LED lights each winter. Las Vegas Motor Speedway and other holiday shows have helped expand non-gaming family entertainment options around the city.
