The annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and has grown dramatically since it began in 1999. Held over two weekends in mid-April, it’s become far more than simply a place to enjoy good music. It’s a major fashion hotspot known for bohemian-inspired styles, includes art installation, and attracts countless celebrities, including big names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jared Leto, Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgins, and many others.
