When it first started in 1999, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was a couple of stages and a dance tent. Tickets were $65.
Now, tickets start at $375. VIP packages and loads of guest celebrities participate in the musical festivities that span the area.
“I have always wanted to go to a festival like Coachella and see all the different types of art and music and meet people who are into the same kind of music as me,” said Hannah Loftspring, 9.
Many celebrities flock to the music venue. Some of the celebrities include: Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, Julianne Hough, Selena Gomez, Kellan Lutz, Emma Roberts, and Katy Perry.
“I love all the diversity that comes together to one festival,” said Loftspring.
Festival fashion there is the casual, summery look that provided a sweet spot for fashion brands.
For women, the look is short denim cutoffs, ankle boots, bikini top under a sheer/knitted macramé blouse, and floral headband. For guys, it is board shorts and a graphic tank.
“Coachella seems overrated, it sounds like it is just an excuse to dress like a hippie for a day,” said Abigail McGowan, 10.
