Attending the first weekend of Coachella is notoriously overwhelming. You might find yourself trying to chase down the ever coveted Neon Carnival ticket, or to any of the influencer laden brand-sponsored events like those thrown by REVOLVE. But in reality, while the plethora of private, invite-only events go on, so do perfectly fantastic parties that you can actually go to either with your festival ticket, or by buying a cheap add-on to heighten your weekend experience before or after the festival.
To make your life a bit easier, we've outlined the best of those available options, many of which rideshare programs like Lyft have partnered alongside to offer rides to and from. For now, we'll just wait for those set times to released.
