  • Exhibit: Fruits of Our Labor at Historic Fifth Street School

    Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by viewing work by acclaimed Las Vegas artist Justin Favela. His signature piñata sculptures have won him awards and international attention. In Fruits of Our Labor, Favela takes inspiration from Mexican still life fruit, “Sesame Street Fruit’’ and Sandra Cisneros’ classic book The House on Mango Street. Through November 4; Tuesday-Friday, 2-6 p.m.; free. Mayor’s Gallery, 401 S. Fourth St. –C. Moon Reed

  • Fest: Pure Aloha Festival at Craig Ranch Regional Park

    Pure Aloha makes its comeback just in time for its 15th anniversary in Las Vegas, celebrating island culture, music, food and art at the expansive North Las Vegas destination over four days of fun. Kapena, Spawn Breezie, Ekolu, Pat T. and Bonafide will be among the Hawaiian and reggae acts taking the stage, and the all-ages event will feature a large carnival and games section open all weekend long. September 30-October 3, times vary, $10 per day, vizzun.com. –Brock Radke

  • Party: Blond:ish at Zouk Nightclub

    The opening round of parties at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World continues with one of the new venue’s more experimental residents, Montreal-born Vivie-Ann Bakos, who has continued under the Blond:ish moniker for the past two years after more than a decade DJing as a duo with Anstascia D’Elene Corniere. Bakos keeps the house rhythms coming in the club and focuses on environmental activism elsewhere. September 30, 10:30 p.m., $30+, zoukgrouplv.com. –Brock Radke

  • Concert: Tijuana Panthers & Waves at Backstage Bar & Billiards

    The tide is rolling in to Fremont East. On October 1, Backstage Bar & Billiards welcomes two surf-inspired indies, Long Beach’s Tijuana Panthers and San Diego’s Wavves, for a night of fuzzed-out mayhem. Expect a head-nodding—and, in some of the inevitable louder moments, head-banging—good time of the variety we used to enjoy Downtown all the time before the pandemic nearly destroyed our capacity to enjoy live, garage-y rock in clubs on a nearly weekly basis. October 1, 9 p.m., $20, bit.ly/2WdsFZG. –Geoff Carter

  • Tribute: Punks in Vegas Show at American Legion Post 8

    The local music institution celebrates its 10th anniversary the way founder Emily Matview—who died in June, and in whose honor this show will be held—would surely have wanted: by bringing some of the Valley’s most adored punk names to the stage for an all-ages blowout. Jesse Pino and Brock Frabbiele will perform acoustic sets, and Rayner, Mercy Music and a reunited-for-the-night Holding Onto Sound (with Micah Malcolm sitting in on drums) will blast off electrically. All profits benefit Gender Justice Nevada. October 1, 6 p.m., $10 donation, 733 N. Veterans Memorial Drive. Spencer Patterson
