Coachella is the festival to go to if you want to feel like a VIP. The annual festival takes place over two weekends in mid-April every spring and, along with it, brings dozens of private parties and special events to the Coachella valley. For celebrity sightings, Coachella parties are where you want to go.

These events can offer anything from special branded experiences from clothing, tech and beauty brands to special pop up parties from record labels and music groups with artists attending or playing at the festival. Weekends 1 and 2 will often have different parties, so depending on which weekend you attend that will determine what you have to choose from. Here is a list of 5 Coachella parties on our watchlist, and how to get in.

Neon Carnival

Saturday, April 16th.

This exclusive private event will be one of the more coveted party invites of the Weekend 1 party scene. With sponsorships from Don Julio and Levi's Denim, as well as organization efforts from Brent Bolthouse, one of the biggest names in California entertainment. If you can't get an invite to the in-person event, you can always attend in the Metaverse. This year a special partnership with Paris Hilton will bring Neon Carnival to the metaverse where attendees can get the full experience, digitally. You can request an invite here.
