Free EDC World Party Parade
Experience the Magic of the EDC World Party Parade on the Strip
Prepare for an unprecedented event as Insomniac brings the iconic EDC charisma to Las Vegas Boulevard. The EDC World Party Parade is a large-scale, free event for all ages and will create a “moving dance floor” on the North Strip with music, lighting, and an atmosphere of togetherness (unity). This historic event will be a tribute to Las Vegas and invite people from all over the world to see what dance music culture can do for their lives.
About the EDC World Party Parade
This inaugural parade is Insomniac’s way of giving back to the community that has hosted EDC for over a decade. Designed to be inclusive for both festival “Headliners” and local families, the procession features more than 30 massive art cars, roaming renegade sound systems, and hundreds of vibrant performers. It is a rare opportunity to see EDC’s spectacular production values in a public, non-ticketed setting, rolling past some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
As the art cars make their way up and down The Strip, they will be accompanied by live performances from some of the world’s best DJs; these performances draw on 30 years of dance music history. The parade offers an opportunity for longtime fans of the genre or those newly introduced to it to connect with others and feel energized in a way not usually found at the Speedway.

What to Expect at the EDC World Party Parade
Plan on experiencing an energetic, engaging scene with tens of thousands of people lined along the sidewalks on the North Strip watching the parade go by, which happens at or between many major locations: The Sahara, Fontainebleau, Peppermill, Resorts World, Circus Circus and Hilton Grand Vacations. For the best views of the giant art cars and entertainers, we recommend arriving 60 to 90 minutes before the 6:00 pm start time. It is important to wear comfortable shoes as you will be dancing on the “moving dance floor” of the Boulevard.
