Plaza Welcome to the Weekend Friday Fireworks

Free Friday Fireworks in Downtown Las Vegas

The Plaza’s Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks are scheduled every Friday night from June 5 through September 4, 2026. Fireworks begin at 9:10 p.m., weather permitting.

A Summer Weekend Kickoff at the Plaza

The Plaza’s Friday fireworks have become a signature summer event in downtown Las Vegas. The display is launched from the Plaza’s towers, giving guests a dramatic view above Main Street and the surrounding downtown skyline.

Main Street in front of the Plaza may be closed to vehicle traffic during the show, giving pedestrians a place to watch from street level. Guests can also watch from the Plaza Rooftop Pool, where the evening includes a party atmosphere, food truck bites, and a full-service bar.
