Welcome to the desert! As influencers, artists, musicians and festival-goers flocked to California for Coachella and Stagecoach, we set up shop in Indio with Gallery Desert House—the next stop in our traveling Gallery House tour.

Our two weekends of programming included the hottest events of festival season attended by thousands and hosted in partnership with headlining sponsor, the ultimate prestige tequila PATRÓN EL ALTO. Celebrities, DJs, founders and friends came together for the celebrations, which also included plenty of rest, relaxation and recharging to keep the party going. Here, a closer look at the exciting lineup of events at Gallery Desert House.

1. Celeb-Studded Parties

PATRÓN EL ALTO is a handcrafted prestige tequila meant for toasting to iconic moments, which means it was the perfect host for a slew of celebrations during the Coachella and Stagecoach festival weekends. The brand joined us to co-host a series of dinners, pool parties and unforgettable late-night events while providing all the top-tier cocktails at our desert oasis.

Guests were able to sip on everything from the world’s first, four-times distilled and naturally sweet prestige tequila PATRÓN El Cielo; the luxuriously smooth PATRÓN El Alto, passionately handcrafted from the finest 100 percent Weber Blue Agave grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico; and specialty cocktails made with the naturally additive-free, super-premium tequila carefully distilled in small batches from 100 percent Weber Blue Agave: PATRÓN Silver.

The stars showed up for the fun, with Diplo, Lana Del Rey, Leon Bridges, Nikki Lane, Jason Tartick, Tyler Cameron and more hanging out at Gallery Desert House during Stagecoach weekend, which also featured music sets by the Desert 5 band and Shaboozey. During the first weekend of Coachella, Austin Millz, VivaLatina, DJ Millie and Chantel Jeffries kept people on their feet at the Gallery Desert House day parties throughout the weekend.

On Friday night, the Desert 5 Spot hosted Midnight Cowboy, the hottest honky-tonk that brought DJs, cowboy karaoke, line dancers and surprises to Gallery Desert House.
