Every year in the small desert town of Coachella, CA; some of the largest bands come together in a clash of masterful music, intense on-stage entertainment, and one massive crowd that has come from all over the world to unite in one weekend of non-stop dancing, screaming, and partying.  In a modern day reincarnation of epic Woodstock, the weekend festival features over 150 bands; from billboard topping headliners to newly discovered indie bands with a cult following. 

You can camp along the scenic Lake Eldorado or stay in a Luxurious Safari Tent.  Don’t let the word ‘tent’ deter you, these plush accommodations come equipped with queen sized beds, air conditioning, tables, flooring, pillows and chairs—making you feel as if your traveling as part of your favorite band’s entourage.  Plus, you are sure to see some celebrities walking around from cabana to cabana, and who can resist a little star gazing?

Only two hours away from two of California’s glam tourist areas: Orange County and Los Angeles, Coachella is the perfect meeting place to start your Golden State adventure.  Ride the wave of entertainment and ultimate hype by taking a Hollywood Double Decker Fun Tour, and if you want to experience even more music to satisfy your groupie achings, check out some of the most sold out venues like Spaceland, Troubador, and House of Blues.  If you are eager for a true Californian beach experience, head down to Orange County where the beaches are plentiful, beautiful, and full of surf.  Take California Surfin’ Lessons at Dana Point Beach or take it easy and stroll along the famous and quaint streets of Laguna Beach on a Laguna Beach Art Walk Tour.
