The Week Ahead: October 19–25, 2026

October 19–25 at a glance

This week’s supplied calendar concentrates on Friday through Sunday, with no listings for Monday through Thursday. The weekend brings seasonal family activities, art, cultural celebrations and a professional training option. All times below are Las Vegas local time. For events spanning multiple days, the listed start and finish do not necessarily establish daily opening hours; those limits are noted where relevant.

Friday, October 23

MCON opens at 9 a.m. Friday at The Expo at World Market Center and runs through 2 p.m. Sunday, October 25. Admission starts at $55. The listing identifies it as a community event but supplies no program details or daily schedule, so the opening and closing times are the available planning anchors.

For a focused learning commitment, Wrap class begins at 10 a.m. Friday in Las Vegas. Hosted by Houdini Wraps Academy, the two-day vinyl-wrap training class costs $1,500 and is presented as an introduction to a potential career. A specific street address, finish time and second-day schedule are not supplied.

The Las Vegas Hot Air Balloon Festival starts at 5 p.m. Friday at Craig Ranch, with $25 admission. Its listed date range ends at 5 p.m. Saturday, though separate daily hours are not provided. Attractions include a DJ and entertainment, food, craft and retail vendors, and a kids zone. Tethered balloon rides cost $35 per person, are sold onsite and have limited availability; they are also weather-dependent. The description advertises a balloon glow and laser show at approximately 9 p.m., without specifying the night.

Parade of Mischief takes place at 6 p.m. in Downtown Summerlin, on Park Centre Drive. Presented by Universal Horror Unleashed, the parade is free and runs Fridays and Saturdays through October 24. That makes this the final Friday in its supplied schedule, with one more appearance Saturday.

Two separate family listings share a name and a start time. Trunk or Treat at the Orleans runs 6–9 p.m. Friday at the Orleans hotel and is free. No additional activity details are supplied.

Elegancia’s Trunk or Treat runs 6–10 p.m. Friday at 4350 S. Arville St., Suite 340. Its description includes food and trunk-or-treating for families. Admission cost is not listed. The different addresses and finish times are worth keeping in mind when choosing between the two outings.

Saturday, October 24

For a weekend outing without a supplied daily timetable, McKee Ranch Pumpkin Patch continues at McKee Ranch. Admission is $25 per family, regardless of family size. The description promises weekend vendors and activities for different age groups, including adults. The overall listing extends through October 31, but it does not establish opening and closing hours for this Saturday or Sunday.

The Great Pumpkin Festival begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at Otonomus Hotel, 5050 W. Russell Road, with its listed run ending at 4 p.m. Sunday. Separate daily hours and admission cost are not provided. The dog-friendly festival includes a farmers market, interactive experiences, a jump house, fall photo opportunities and food trucks. One specific Saturday appointment is the pumpkin painting contest at 3 p.m.

Chalk & Cheers runs 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Saturday at Sky Canyon Park. This free family event centers on artists creating sidewalk works, with visitors invited to vote for their favorites. The supplied activities also include a vendor village, food trucks, a pumpkin patch, slime making, inflatables and a petting zoo.

At 4 p.m. Saturday, the Dia De Los Muertos Festival begins at Ferguson’s Downtown. Admission is free. Local vendors, food, music and art accompany cultural traditions honoring and remembering loved ones. An end time is not listed.

Sunday, October 25

Two multi-day listings reach their scheduled finishes Sunday: MCON at 2 p.m. at The Expo at World Market Center, and the Great Pumpkin Festival at 4 p.m. at Otonomus Hotel. Sunday opening times are not supplied for either.
