Block parties and street festivals on Fremont East
A block party needs a block. East Fremont Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and 8th Street closes to traffic, the 13 venues along it open onto the street, and the operator that runs them runs the permits, the stage, the security and the bars. That is the setup Feed the Block has used for free shows of 10,000 to 15,000 people.

What you get with the street
A closed, pedestrian block with a main stage, power, lighting and sound run by the district's production team. The venues along the street stay open and become the bars, the restaurants, the restrooms and the VIP rooms, so the festival has infrastructure a parking lot never does. Commonwealth's rooftop and We All Scream's rooftop overlook the street for sponsor decks and viewing parties.
Access control at both ends of the closure, security inside it, and the city permits for the closure and the sound are handled under one contract with Corner Bar, which operates the venues and the street.
Feed the Block is the template
The district's own event series shows the format at full size: three headline nights in 2025 with a free show on the street, 9,700 to 15,000 people a night and 32,000 across the season, plus 10,000 guests who crossed into the casinos and 8 million social impressions. The case study has the layout, the stage position and the crowd flow.
Formats
A ticketed or free concert with a street stage. A food and drink festival that uses the restaurants as the vendors. A sponsored block party for a brand, a convention or a sports weekend. A private street party for a company that wants the whole block to itself. Each one is the same closure with different programming, and the activation packages page shows how the tiers scale.
