The best place for dancing in the desert. All my favorites and go-tos for your top festival weekend 🎡🫶🏼🍄
Empire Polo Club
This is where the magic happens! I recommend getting to the festival grounds a few hours before your must see sets to give yourself enough time to explore around. One of the must-sees is the iconic Ferris Wheel. Lines can get long in the evenings so I recommend buying tickets early and popping in between sets. Indio Central Market is the best place to stop for food. It has over a dozen different restaurants that rotate each year (spicy ramen, prince street pizza, and dumplings have been my 2024 top picks!) and offers a rare spot of shade to eat and regroup. Lastly, I highly recommend stopping by Do Lab stage if you get the chance! Although it’s the smallest it packs a hard punch and features several surprise sets throughout the weekend, you never know who will stop by.
See MoreHoly Square at Coachella
The most iconic spot on the festival grounds! One of the best photo spots for those IG moments. One of my hidden pieces of Coachella advice is to wait to walk up Holy Square until the headliners each night! There’s virtually no wait, plus you get a birds eye view of the Main Stage during the best shows of the weekend. Truly a must-do.
See MoreLunas Bar & Grill
We ended up here Thursday evening before the weekend madness begins and Lunas is the perfect place to start the weekend off right. They have a great drink selection + a little bit of everything on the menu (although the chicken is my favorite!) They also feature live music on select nights if you’re looking to start your listening journey a little early 🎶
See MoreThe Vintage Coffee House
Need a pick me up after long nights dancing under the moon? The Vintage Coffee House is your go to! It’s close enough to the festival grounds to be convenient + provided the cutest atmosphere to unwind and gear up for another day dancing along. The latte is my favorite!
See MoreCoachella Valley
Now for the tedious part: logistics. Although the weekend can be done in three days, I suggest arriving a day early to give yourself time to set up and relax! Coachella Valley provides beautiful mountain views on the drive in, with plenty of spots to pull over and stop for a photo moment. I’d also give yourself Monday to recover and take in the rest of Indio before heading back to the real world🎡
