When most people hear the name Coachella, they immediately think of the world-famous music festival. Fun fact: the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is actually held in neighboring Indio, not the City of Coachella!

​

The City of Coachella has deep agricultural roots and a rich cultural heritage that continue to shape the community today. Much of the workforce responsible for planting, growing, and harvesting the fruits and vegetables that feed communities across the country calls Coachella home. Agriculture isn't just part of the city's history, it's part of everyday life and one of the reasons the Coachella Valley became what it is today.

​

As the city continues to grow, new neighborhoods, parks, and local businesses are joining its long-standing traditions. Colorful murals, authentic restaurants, and community events celebrate the diverse cultures that make Coachella such a vibrant place to live.

​

Whether you're visiting for the incredible food, exploring the city's public art, or looking to put down roots in the eastern Coachella Valley, you'll quickly discover that Coachella is much more than the name of a music festival. It's a hardworking community with a rich history, a bright future, and a story all its own.
