5 Things to do in the Coachella Valley

Farm for sale in Coachella Valley

Riding horses is one of the many activities in the Eastern Coachella Valley.

5 Things to do in the Coachella Valley.  What in the world do you DO in the Coachella Valley..I mean other than Golf, hike, or attend music Festivals??  I get asked that all the time..by clients, friends, people I sit next to at a restaurant.  But, the truth is, there are tons of options and here are 5 of them.  Local Coachella Valley Realtor, Kim Kelly, works year round here in the Desert Valley, yes, even in the heat!  760-285-3578.

So, pretty much everybody knows about our world famous Coachella Music Festivals.  Even if you don’t know exactly what’s going on, you, or your family has probably heard about it.  Next we have our approx. 120 Golf Courses..if you like to swing a golf club, you will probably end up here at some point in your life.  FYI..summer rates are REALLY low!  What else?

  1.  Water/Wave Park:  Year round, and now being upgraded from just a water park to a Wave Park, this activity is going to go through the roof!  Learn to Surf, parties, groups and events.
  2.  The Living Desert Zoo:  Do NOT miss this if you are in our beautiful Coachella Valley.  The best Zoo, it’s a LIVING Zoo, meaning there are interactions with the animals.  It is just so incredible, the grounds, the animals houses, the caretakers.  Not to be missed!
  3.  Marvyn’s Magic Theater:  833-MARVYNS, 833-627-8967, located right by Target and Trader Joes in an inconspicuous mall.  Wow!  Tickets start at $32.  This dude spent years performing in Las Vegas, and now he’s in La Quinta!  Magic, Comedy & Variety, the lounge sits 129 people.  Show changes weekly.  46630 Washington St.
  4. The Thermal Club:  Way out in the Eastern Coachella Valley, this is so special to our Desert.  If you like Racing Cars, if you want to try driving one, this Club is here for you.  Unique and special.
  5. International Polo Games and the Horseshow In The Sun winter show jumping competitions.  If you’re here January through April..go!  Polo games and jumping events run every weekend and some week days during our winter months.  Take the kids, dogs on leashes, FUN!

Coachella Valley Fitness & Sports

Lots of equestrian events in the Coachella Valley

Coachella Valley Fitness & Sports..

We are an active, physically fit group of desert dwellers for the most part.  I think it’s because of our “indoor/outdoor” living we are lucky enough to experience fitness most of the year.  There are seasonal outings of course, like the HITS horseshow, and International Polo Games, but it’s really just the variety of daily “things to do” for your wellness that brings people of all ages to our beautiful Coachella Valley.

Locals and the Music Festival!!

Coachella Music Festival grounds are larger and even grander!

Locals and the Music Festival!!  As with all relationships,there is a yin and a yang to the three weekends of the Coachella Music Festivals.  The first two bring in current superstars, future hopefuls, and recent New Musical discoveries in the Coachella Music Festival.  The only difference this season was the SIZE of the Festival..the city approved a newly enhanced limit of 125,000 people.  The grounds themselves were larger too.  All this was FANTASTIC!  But…increased traffic, increased litter, long waits, detours to stay away from the busy streets..some inconveniences for us locals.

Coachella Music Festival Lease Properties

PGA West is a popular destination for our Music Festival attendees

PGA West is a popular destination for our Music Festival attendees

Coachella Music Festival Lease Properties:  One of the positives of having the HUGE success of the Coachella Music Festivals, is the increased demand for Leases.  Not all Music Festival requested Lease properties are “Luxury”.  Meaning simply that not everyone has rich tastes.  There are many, many demands for people visiting that are quite happy with a small condo at Indian Palms Country Club, and many people actually prefer a regular place at PGA West.  So..”Luxury” can mean a different type of Music Festival experience to each visitor to our beautiful Coachella Valley.  If you’re thinking of purchasing an investment property, let me set up a tour for you!  760-285-3578.

Music Festivals bring fans & $ to Indio, CA.

Music Festivals bring millions to the City of Indio, Calif.  The city of Indio has always been known to the Locals as “The City of Festivals.”  Before the Coachella Music Festivals, that generally meant The Indio Date Festival and the Tamale Festival!  Not any more.  The sleepy city of old Indio has now gained acknowledgement as the home of the highest ranked Music Festival in the world!  Tickets for the 2016 Coachella Music and Arts Festival sold out in less than an hour.  These two festivals, ranked #1, and #3 respectively, brought in more than $106 million for their organizers in 2015.  Forbes ranked them first and third on the list of highest grossing music festivals of the year.  (Desert Sun)  If you’re thinking of buying or selling in the desert, give me a call at 760-285-3578.

Beautiful, rural, open land in Thermal, CA, is what brought The Thermal Club.

The Thermal Club; Car Lovers desert Paradise!  Who would have believed Car owners, collectors and competitors would bring their rarified world to the eastern Coachella Valley.  Not me..I’ve lived here for over 30 years, and just did not see this one coming!  It really does make sense though.  Our Eastern Coachella cities, Thermal, Coachella and Indio have definitely seen an increase in seasonal activities over the past 10 years or so.  Every season brings more awareness that there is a bevy of things to do in Thermal, besides watching dates being harvested, and crops being grown.  Our East Valley is an agricultural mecca to be sure. With fertile soil, temperate weather, and extreme heat during the summers, many crops thrive!  And now comes a car lovers’ dream; The Thermal Club, to further enhance the city of Thermals spot as a destination event city, and have I got a Car Collectors’ Dream Property for you to view.  Take the virtual tour below, then give me a call for your own private tour at 760-285-3578.
