The third iteration of the Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival poured into Las Vegas, Nevada, this past weekend. An intriguing complement to your typical Las Vegas experience, this urban oasis takes place in Vegas' downtown arts district. The location contributes greatly to the energetic, lively scene of people from all walks of life. The Life is Beautiful producers have curated vibrant, mouth-dropping sights and sounds, as you can see in the dazzling photo gallery below. 

A speaker panel that included Shepherd Fairey, RuPaul Charles, Azie Tesfai and Stacy London, proved the fest can walk the walk with a focus on big ideas as a cornerstone of the event. The art produced during the festival, including murals, cutting-edge street art, and immersive installations, will be integrated into Vegas' urban fabric to create year-round conversation on the impact of civic art. Empire of the Sun, Die Antwoord, Mumford & Sons, J. Cole, Major Lazer, The Lumineers and Leon Bridges , headlined the eclectic musical bill, right alongside  yoga, family-friendly programming and mind-blowing international cuisine that is quickly earning the fest a reputation for some of the best festival food around.
