Las Vegas’ First Friday arts festival will likely skip its November gathering as city officials work on safety measures following a shooting that killed a 15-year-old, Mayor Shelley Berkley said Tuesday. The city is discussing the pause with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the city’s Department of Public Safety and the First Friday Foundation, Berkley said during an interview at the IMEX trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. No end to the event has been announced. “It’s a fabulous event. We’re not ending it,” Berkley said. “It’s too much fun and it’s too important for the city to end it, but we have to ensure that it is safe for everybody.” Gunfire erupted Oct. 2 after a fight between two groups at the Arts District event. Police arrested a 17-year-old, alleging that he opened fire during an altercation involving two street gangs. A 15-year-old was killed. Berkley said officials are considering several possible safety steps while First Friday is paused. She pointed to measures used to address crime on Fremont Street as a potential model, but did not detail a proposed plan or say when the festival might return. The monthly gathering brings artists, vendors and visitors to the downtown Arts District. Berkley said the goal is to preserve the event while preventing violence, saying the gathering should not be a place “for gangs to be fighting and killing each other.”
