Neon Carnival Returns To The Desert For 15th Edition This Weekend

Neon Carnival

Neon Carnival, one of the Coachella Valley’s most heralded afterparties, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this weekend.

The long-running late-night event is back at Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, California, for one night only this Saturday, April 11, marking the milestone with a headline performance from Ty Dolla $ign, joined by DJ NITRANE and Dre Sinatra on the ones and twos.

Making his first appearance at Neon Carnival, the R&B superstar is joined on the lineup by Compton’s own Channel Tres, globally known for his signature blend of house music and hip-hop. DJ Mary Mac kicks off the night with a curated opening set.

Elsewhere beneath the glow of its famous light-up Ferris wheel, guests can explore a playground of curated experiences from major brands. Along with giveaways and “tropical photo moments” from presenting sponsors RIVIAN and LaCroix, GHOST Energy is set to keep partygoers going with beverages and prizes at their carnival-style water game; Maruchan serves up ramen, and beauty brands like e.l.f. Cosmetics and Sally Hansen share lip balm samples and serve up on-site manicures.

Other experiences include a whack-a-mole game from Loop Earplugs, samples from Hint Water, a 360-degree video experience by XTRA Camera, and free swag, beverages, and photo ops from Tito’s, Big Sipz, and PATH Water.

Neon Carnival guests who complete their profile on the social connection app RTHMS receive priority RSVP approval and exclusive Fast Lane access at the event. You can download the app here.
