Deets: Neon Carnival, the highly anticipated late-night party of the year made its triumphant return to light up the desert night sky during this past famed music festival weekend on Saturday, April 15. Celebrating its 12th year, the coveted outdoor dance party created by LA’s original nightlife mastermind Brent Bolthouse and producing partner Jeffrey Best came to life exclusively for one night only.
The iconic denim and lifestyle brand Levi’s ® returned to headline this year’s event alongside Mexico’s original luxury premium tequila, Tequila Don Julio. Smirnoff ICE Neon Lemonades and Path Water have joined the party for their second consecutive year, and we welcomed newcomer Ghost® Energy to the festivities.
The stage was set, and the unrivaled party was held at the famed Desert International Horse Park. The sprawling space welcomed back the biggest names in entertainment and consumer lifestyle to its all-grassy knoll spanning the length of three football fields, equipped with carnival-style games and exhilarating amusement park thrills for festivalgoers. No strangers to the bright lights and late-night party scene, Neon Carnival resident DJs Ruckus, Kayper, and Mel Debarge returned to the iconic event to keep the party moving into the early hours the next morning.
Presenting sponsor Levi’s® celebrates 150 years of their iconic 501® jeans that revolutionized fashion and style around the world. This year they returned to the desert illuminating the sky with their Levi’s® branded Ferris Wheel for their fifth consecutive year. Tequila Don Julio was back for their seventh consecutive year, serving up handcrafted libations from the Airstream Speakeasy and Tequila Don Julio 1942 bottle service to VIPs.
