LAS VEGAS — Home + History Las Vegas will return April 16–19, 2026, bringing more than 30 events across Southern Nevada. The four-day festival highlights local architecture, culture and community history.
Organizers with the Nevada Preservation Foundation say the event invites residents and visitors to explore the stories behind the region’s growth. As a result, attendees can experience parts of Las Vegas that often go unseen.
Festival features tours, events and historic experiences
The annual event includes guided walks, home tours and educational programs. In addition, organizers have added several new experiences for 2026.
Participants can explore historic neighborhoods, attend workshops and join scenic tours. Because of this variety, the festival appeals to both longtime residents and first-time visitors.
Tickets start at $35. Guests can view the full schedule online.
Opening event brings Prohibition-era theme
The festival will begin with a special kickoff event on April 15.
The fundraiser, titled Bootleggers in the Garden, will take place at a historic 1930s Las Vegas home. Guests will experience a Prohibition-style evening with themed drinks and vintage décor.
Chefs James Trees and Todd Harrington will provide food for the event. Meanwhile, mixologist Jonah Gibbs will create specialty drinks.
As a result, the opening night blends history with a modern culinary experience.
Themed events highlight different eras of Las Vegas
Several events will focus on specific time periods in local history.
For example, the “1984: Revenge of the Yuppies” event will recreate a country club setting from the 1980s. Guests can enjoy music, drinks and a retro atmosphere at a private clubhouse.
In addition, the Hidden Paradise Bike Tour will highlight a 1970s-era neighborhood. Participants will ride through Paradise Crest and learn about its unique homes and residents.
Because of these themed events, the festival offers a wide look at different decades of Las Vegas history.
Historic Henderson tour explores wartime roots
The Historic Henderson Bus Tour will return this year by popular demand.
The guided tour includes access to the former Basic Magnesium, Inc. plant. This site played a key role during World War II.
Through this experience, guests will learn how Henderson developed from a wartime industry site into a modern city.
Organizers say the tour provides rare access to an important location.
Architecture tours highlight community spaces
The festival will also feature tours focused on architecture.
One example is the Modernist Places of Worship Bus Tour. This tour will visit several historic churches and community spaces.
Stops include St. Anne Catholic Church, Christ Church Episcopal, Trinity Life Center and Guardian Angel Cathedral.
These locations show how design and community needs shaped local spaces. Therefore, the tour connects architecture with everyday life in Las Vegas.
Event aims to preserve local history
Organizers say the festival promotes awareness of preservation efforts.
By highlighting historic sites, the event encourages residents to value and protect local landmarks.
In addition, the festival helps tell stories about the people and industries that built Southern Nevada.
Because of this mission, Home + History continues to grow each year.
