First
Friday Las Vegas, the largest arts and culture festival in the Western United
States, continues to evolve and draw huge crowds from around the valley and
beyond for a night of art, music, food and more. Now in its 10th year, First
Friday celebrates art and builds community with plenty of free activities for
every age. On Friday, July 5, First Friday celebrates that we’re “Free To Be!”
Fans
of First Friday should head to the Welcome Tent (located near Casino Center and
Charleston) to get a lesson and navigation tips for a brand new digital program
guide for the phone. Created by Tabesco, this new application will give the
user more information on artists, musicians, food trucks and more. The Art of Law will be offering free seminars
on basic legal issues inside their tent located on the corner of Casino Center
and California Ave. This month, bring documents that need to be notarized with
a photocopy of a valid, picture ID and finally get that taken care of! They are
offering the service free of charge.
