They are the backbone of our community, and we appreciate all they do.”
The first guests of honor to ignite the fireworks from the TNT box at Carousel Bar at 9:15 p.m. tomorrow night, Friday, Aug. 1, will be members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

On Friday, Aug. 22, the ten recipients of the Clark County School District’s 2025 Starlight Awards that recognize exceptional educators and staff members will come together to ignite the fireworks.
The public can celebrate these community heroes with cocktails at Carousel Bar and a DJ will be providing entertainment starting at 7 p.m.
Staged from the top of the Plaza’s South Tower every Friday at 9:15 p.m. from May through September, the public can watch the Welcome to the Weekend Friday Fireworks Show for free from in front of the Plaza on Main Street, which will be closed to vehicular traffic during the show for viewing the fireworks from Carson Avenue to Ogden Avenue.
