Welcome (back) to the desert! As influencers, artists and musicians flocked to California for festival season, we set up shop in Indio for our second year at Gallery Desert House.

Two weekends. Two festivals. Plenty to celebrate. We packed the place with a slew of events, partners and our favorite celebrities and tastemakers—including DJ Diplo, Kyle Cooke of Summer House and Joey Graziadei of The Bachelor. Guests 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 at this year’s Gallery Desert House.

Partygoers Got Festival Glam with Seaswept

We kicked off Coachella weekend with the Josh Cellars Seaswept pre-game that energized guests and set the tone for the evening ahead. With a high-energy DJ, professional hair and makeup touch-ups and a glam rhinestone station, it was a golden hour party not to be missed, with the perfect wine to chill out from the heat. Seaswept, a refreshing combination of sauvignon blanc and pinot grigio, was also available throughout both festival weekends.

High Noon Hosted a High Tea Party

This High Tea Party put a twist on the traditional English tea service with a DJ set and plenty of opportunities to try High Noon Vodka Iced Tea—a non-carbonated hard tea made with real vodka, real iced tea and no added sugar. Guests like Tyga, Brianna Lapaglia , Chase Demoor, and Mark Estes all stopped by to hang by the pool and join in the revelry. High Noon Vodka Iced Tea was served throughout both festival weekends for attendees to discover their favorite of the four flavors: Original, Peach, Lemon and Raspberry.

There’s No Party Like a PATRÓN Party

PATRÓN brought the #PATRONDESERT to life across both festival weekends, serving up their high-end luxury tequila in new, pocket-sized bottles dubbed the PATRÓN EL ALTO minis. They hosted three stand-out events, kicking off the weekend with the Cowgirl Cookout in partnership with acclaimed country artist Nikki Lane, which welcomed headlining talent and featured a fireside performance by Sierra Ferrell. This was followed by the ultimate after-party Saturday night, PATRÓN’s Last Call Saloon, with musical sets from Dustin Lynch, Super Drew and Tucker Wetmore. PATRÓN closed out the weekend with the Swimsuits & Cowboy Boots Pool Party in partnership with Desert 5 that included epic performances from the Midnight Cowgirls, Nikki Lane, and Dasha.

The Raw Sugar Roundup Was the Place to Be

Vegan haircare Raw Sugar hosted GRWM events Friday through Sunday with dry styling services that featured some of their hero products like the Multi-Miracle Hair Mist, Not So Dry Shampoo and Endless Hair Glow Oil. Well-known faces like Katie Austin stopped by the event, and guests were also treated to rejuvenating scalp massages, vegan snacks and refreshing juices.

No Cowboy Boots? No Problem

Guests of Gallery Desert House had the opportunity to sample and shop from three ABG footwear brands throughout the weekend: Vince Camuto, Frye and Hunter Boots. Our Wellness Wake-Up Bar treated them to refreshing beverages, a yoga class hosted by Claire Fountain, and access to an exclusive styling pop-up featuring Vince Camuto’s hottest selection of shoes and handbags. The Strut & Style GRWM party presented by Frye had attendees crafting a signature look, featuring Frye’s newest boot styles and custom boot bling. Finally, The Hunter Outpost was open for shopping the latest styles from Hunter Boots any time throughout the weekend.

Becca Moore Hosted a Live Pod and Pool Party

No connection was left unexplored at Gallery Desert House, thanks to Spectrum’s No Missed Connections event. The brand, who sponsored our internet and high-speed WiFi for the whole weekend, also powered a live taping of the infamous ‘For the Girls’ podcast with host Becca Moore and surprise guest, Charity Lawson. After the pod? A high-energy pool party hosted by Becca with DJ Layla Johnson, complete with a lounge for recharging (your phone and yourself).

Palmer’s Kept Us Glowing All Weekend

An essential beauty pit stop, the Palmer’s Glow Outpost allowed guests to experience the illuminating, all-over glow of Cocoa Butter Formula Shimmer Radiance Body Oil and the luxurious moisture of the decadently scented Tahitian Vanilla Body Lotion. They even took their looks to the next level with DIY face gems. It was the perfect stop to hydrate, shine and snap a standout festival look.

U by Kotex Kept Us Prepared

U by Kotex’s Period Pit Stop ensured guests were not only fully equipped for the weekend with festival-ready products, but also allowed them to customize a Festival Fanny Pack with adorable bag charms. And, thanks to U by Kotex products being fully stocked in all Gallery House bathrooms, guests could truly enjoy a worry-free weekend.

And Our Gifting Oasis Just Kept on Giving

Thanks to our incredible partners, we were able to stock a whole suite of products for the guests of Gallery Desert House. This included stellar sun protection from brands like Bioré UV Aqua Rich Daily Moisturizer SPF 50 and Native Sunscreen, and beverages from Recess and Molson Coors (Peroni, Blue Moon, Topo Chico) to beat the 100 degree heat. Other partners included: Vacation, Hero Cosmetics, Ellis Brooklyn, Sacheu, Blobs Candy and Moon Brew.
