The Show, Las Vegas Men’s Chorus, Chippendales, Skye Dee Miles, Jake DuPree from Belle de Nuit, DJ Axis, Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko Drummers, and legendary performers from Gipsy and Piranha.

For an impressive 23rd consecutive year, Vegas headliners and AFAN advocates Penn & Teller will stand as grand marshals, lending their unwavering support to kick off the walk and inspire participants to contribute generously, fostering positive change within the community.

“The AIDS Walk Las Vegas embodies the spirit of unity and compassion that defines our community,” said Antioco Carrillo, executive director of AFAN. “We extend our heartfelt appreciation to every walker, supporter, and partner who joins us at the Las Vegas Ballpark. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to providing vital services and support to those affected by HIV/AIDS in Southern Nevada.”
