The 2025 Neon Carnival, one of the most exclusive after-parties of the 2025 Coachella weekend, returned for its 14th year on Saturday at the Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, Calif.
The carnival has long been a magnet for A-listers, with past events hosting figures like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. This year’s event featured Paris Hilton, Teyana Taylor, Lori Harvey and more.
The festival was headlined by Anderson .Paak, performing as DJ Pee.Wee with an all-vinyl set for the second consecutive year. He was joined by Chase B & Friends and Charly Jordan, who energized the crowd with their performances. The event featured classic carnival games, amusement park rides — including its signature Ferris wheel — and immersive light displays across a massive space spanning three football fields.
Neon Carnival partnered with a range of sponsors to enhance the guest experience. Patrón El Alto returned as the official tequila sponsor, offering exclusive cocktails like the Patrón Headliner Margarita in glow-in-the-dark cups and VIP bottle service. Other sponsors included Ghost Energy, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, Heineken, LaCroix and Path Water.
