Neon Carnival To Return With Levi's and Don Julio During Coachella Weekend One

Neon Carnival is gearing up to return to Desert International Horse Park on Saturday, April 16, for its eleventh year, during Coachella weekend one. Tequila Don Julio and Levi’s are back to co-headline the event, alongside new brand additions, including Liquid I.V., DIRECTV, Monster Energy, new Smirnoff Neon Lemonades and PathWater.

The massive equestrian center will host festival-goers on its grass knoll spanning three football fields, where there will be carnival games and amusement park attractions. Neon Carnival staples — DJs Ruckus and Kayper — will return to the venue to provide music on-site, alongside newcomer Mel DeBarge.

The event, which is conceptualized by LA nightlife connoisseur Brent Bolthouse and produced by Best Events, has previously attracted A-list attendees, including Drake, French Montana, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna and more.

“We can’t wait to return back to the desert and celebrate our 11-year anniversary of Neon Carnival. It’s been a long two years and we are excited to catch up with some old friends and meet new ones,” said Bolthouse in a statement. “We’ve added international party scene Mel DeBarge along with Kayper and DJ Ruckus to round out the evening and keep partygoers dancing all night long.”

Additionally, the renowned event is headed into the metaverse for the first time this year, enlisting regular attendee Paris Hilton to host the Neon Carnival experience in “Paris World” on Roblox.

Guests must be 21 or older to attend the event. Neon Carnival is not associated with Coachella.
