Downtown at The Smith Center, don’t miss the limited engagement performances of Nevada Ballet Theatre’s (NBT) The Nutcracker. Choreographed by James Canfield, The Nutcracker fills the stage with magical cheer and features a cast of nearly 100 dancers including NBT’s talented Company Artists and students from the affiliated Academy.
Celebrate the holiday season by attending Downtown Summerlin’s all NEW family-friendly holiday parade, which runs at 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays Nov. 16 – Dec. 22. All shows are free and open to the general public.
Did you know that Summerlin® boasts over half a million light bulbs on display during the holiday season; enough deer to guide three Santa sleights and close to a million snowflakes to land on. It’s a holiday attraction in itself.
“Summerlin is built around families,” stated Danielle Bisterfeldt, vice president of marketing, Summerlin. “We strive to ensure our seasonal events are relevant to our residents and to Las Vegas as a whole. In addition to executing a refreshed holiday parade, we have Rock Rink ice skating, a holiday train that runs throughout the property, beautiful décor, including a 40-foot tree and a Santa Chalet located in Macy’s Promenade for visits with the man of the season.”
Downtown Summerlin is one of the only shopping destinations in the city that celebrates Hanukkah. On December 9, the property partners with Jewish Nevada and the JCC to host a one-night Hanukkah celebration. Family-friendly festivities include the lighting of the Menorah, family skate night, entertainment, kid’s activities and hot cocoa with lite bites.
The property is pet friendly and offers Santa photos with pets on Tuesdays through Dec. 18 at the Santa Chalet located in Macy’s Promenade from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.
