The Neon Carnival, the famed late-night outdoor dance party created by Brent Bolthouse will return to Indio, CA on Saturday, April 11th for the sixth consecutive year with amusement park rides, games and more. Known for attracting the who’s who of Hollywood, this year’s event will be presented by Paper Magazine along with partners PacSun, “Dope” the movie, and Tequila Don Julio, who will be providing the specialty drinks. DJs Ruckus, Politik, Jesse Marco and Kayper will perform late into the night in the California desert.
Consistently bringing a fresh take on everything fashion, music, art, and overall lifestyle, Paper epitomizes what Neon Carnival represents, and is the reason why Bolthouse feels this collaboration makes perfect sense and is so special this year.
“Partnering with Paper Magazine for this year’s Neon Carnival is the next logical step for taking our annual event to the next level,” says Brent Bolthouse, creator of Neon Carnival. “The synergy is palpable, and I know this is the start of a great partnership. I look forward to having Paper as a long-term partner for the Neon Carnival, and am confident that this year will be the best one yet.”
“Paper Magazine is thrilled to partner with Neon Carnival,” says Paper Magazine. “Music is one of our big passion points. Neon Carnival brings the worlds of fashion, music and celebrity together in one great event. ”
In addition to the traditional Neon Carnival games and activities guests enjoy each year, PacSun has created a custom game specifically for the event and will be offering guests the chance to win prizes from some of PacSun’s top brands. Tequila Don Julio will be serving up specialty cocktails from the Airstream Speakeasy, which is a 1967 vintage Airstream trailer that has been retrofitted into a bespoke, mobile bar. Mixologists will be traveling to Indio to craft the drinks, and if guests are lucky enough they also might have the opportunity for a private Don Julio 1942 tasting on board the Airstream’s VIP booth.
Neon Carnival was created by Bolthouse Productions and continues annually at the Aviation Airport during music’s biggest festival weekend.
