The Crystal Festival will feature a wide range of rocks, minerals, gems and crystals. It's your chance to shop, network, sign up for rockhounding trips, and meet mine owners, jewelry designers, lapidary artists, mineralogists, geologists, and (other) rockhounds. It's family friendly, so there will be some activities to keep the kids busy.
Admission is free and so is the parking.
It's your chance to meet your neighborhood firefighters, check out firefighting apparatus as you tour the station and learn how you can help in an emergency.

Skaters of all ages and skill levels are welcome to hit the ice thanks to the City of Henderson. Registration is open now for skates being held all year long, and sign-ups must be completed in advance. In some cases, such as this one, you can borrow skates for free. In others, there is a $3 charge.
A beer festival in 2024 isn’t just about beer — though that would be enough. Motley Brews’ 12-year-old brews ‘n’ bites event suspects some of us need an activity to complement the nonstop glugging. So, it now includes a silent disco, karaoke, and/or a scavenger hunt, which all allow at least one free hand for drinking suds. For the purists: There is beer, and some beer, and a lot more beer. And while it’s good to see a heavy helping of visiting breweries — from San Diego’s Modern Times to Delaware’s Dogfish Head — the brightest spotlight will be on the 15 locals, including Beer Zombies, CraftHaus, North 5th Brewing, and even Tonopah Brewing. Pro tip: The Nevada Craft Brewers Association kiosk offers a rare/limited local pour every 20 minutes.

The Friendship Circle Las Vegas is a nonprofit organization for people with special needs. Their annual Walk4Friendship Las Vegas community fundraiser aims to raise awareness and resources to create a more inclusive community in Southern Nevada for those people.
In addition to the 1-mile walk starting at 11 a.m., the event will feature a free community carnival at noon with fun for the whole family, including a zip line, trackless train, video game truck, mechanical bull, rock climbing wall, air jumpers, petting zoo, pirate ship, kiddie bucket swings, and pony rides.
The walk and carnival are free and open to the public, although donations are encouraged. (You can form a team to raise money.) Walk participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and can enjoy giveaways, lunch, and guest celebrity appearances at the carnival.
The Friendship Circle pairs teenage and young adult volunteers with physically and intellectually challenged children, teens, and young adults who may suffer from loneliness in addition to their handicap. Through shared experiences and activities, new friendships are created and a spirit of inclusion and acceptance of everyone is fostered.
Corporate sponsors welcome.
