By now, everyone knows that Weekend 1 of the Coachella Music & Arts Festival is all about the Coachella parties. From Revolve’s celebrity-studded takeovers to Neon Carnival (arguably one of the most sought-after wristbands of the weekend), Weekend 1 brings trendy brands, A-list celebs, and flocks of influencers to the desert. Most parties are invite-only (read: if you need to ask how to get on the list, you’re not getting on the list) BUT brands do offer activations and parties that are open to the public. On this list, I’ve noted which parties are invite-only, which are open to the public, and included RSVP links where available.
Whether you’re coming into town for Coachella or for the parties, here are the Coachella parties heating up for Weekend 1!
