Scouts will be watching closely while families, coaches, and fans support the event and fill local hotels, dining spots, and attractions.

Dream Asia Food Fest Las Vegas
2026-02-14 - 2026-02-16 | Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, 200 S 3rd St,, Las Vegas, 89101
Dream Asia Food Fest is a two-day food and culture event built around one simple idea: try a lot of different things without blowing your budget.
More than 90 food vendors represent East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and modern Asian fusion. The format is small plates, with many options priced under $6, so you can walk the event and sample across regions instead of committing to one dish.
If you’ve ever wanted to try Korean street food, Japanese snacks, Filipino barbecue, Thai desserts, Indian bites, or trending fusion concepts — this is the kind of event where you can do all of it in one afternoon.

What You’ll Find Beyond the Food
Cultural BazaarOver 80 vendors selling everything from traditional crafts and handmade goods to modern Asian-inspired products and collectibles. It feels more like a night market than a typical food festival.
Workshops & Hands-On ActivitiesAttendees can participate in activities like Chinese calligraphy, lantern-making, tea ceremonies, and other cultural experiences designed for all ages.
Seasonal CelebrationsThe event typically aligns with Lunar New Year festivities and Valentine’s weekend, so expect themed performances, decorations, and interactive elements tied to the holiday.
Live PerformancesMusic, dance, and cultural showcases run throughout the weekend, giving the event energy beyond just the food lines.

Rock 'n' Roll Marathon
2026-02-21 - 2026-02-22 | Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas Strip, Venues vary, 89109
This is the only time of year you can run down the Las Vegas Strip without dodging traffic.
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas event shuts down Las Vegas Boulevard at night and turns it into a race course lined with lights, music, and thousands of runners. It’s part race, part spectacle.
You’re not running past empty streets. You’re running past resorts, marquees, and crowds that treat it more like a citywide event than a standard marathon.

Race Weekend Details
Distances:

5K
10K
Half Marathon

The 5K takes place Saturday evening, with the 10K and Half Marathon running Sunday night. Start times begin after sunset, making it one of the few major nighttime races in the country.
Course:The route runs directly along the Strip, past iconic hotels and landmarks. Expect wide roads, bright lights, and long straightaways that feel very different from a traditional city marathon.
Finish Line:A high-energy finish area with music and entertainment that keeps the atmosphere going well after runners cross.
