Things to Do in Indio Tonight

Indio is home to the Empire Polo Club, which means this Coachella Valley city hosts two of the biggest music events on Earth — the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival across two April weekends, and Stagecoach, the country music monster that follows. For those weeks, Indio is the center of the music universe. The rest of the year, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino keeps national touring acts coming to its event center, and the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival each February celebrates the region's date-farming heritage with concerts, camel races, and old-school fairground charm. Winter is high season, when desert weather is at its finest.
