08.01.2026 - 08.15.2026 | WHCV: What’s Happening in the Coachella Valley

Summer is officially in full swing, and the Coachella Valley isn't slowing down anytime soon.

The first half of August is packed with concerts, food festivals, Splash House weekend, comedy, family activities, live music, and plenty of reasons to get out and explore. I'm especially looking forward to Splash House taking over Palm Springs, Lionel Richie & Earth, Wind & Fire at Acrisure Arena, Dwight Yoakam, Jessica Kirson, and of course, all the local food truck events happening throughout the valley. Whether you're looking for a fun date night, a family outing, or just something new to do this weekend, there's plenty to choose from.

Here's what's happening around the valley from August 1 through August 15.

There's always something happening around the Coachella Valley, and I love putting these guides together so you don't have to spend hours searching for things to do.

Whether you're checking out Splash House, grabbing dinner before a concert, exploring VillageFest, or discovering a new local favorite, I hope this roundup helps you make the most of the next couple of weeks.

And if you're thinking about making the Coachella Valley home, or you're simply curious about what it's like to live here, I'd love to help. As a local Realtor®, I don't just help people buy and sell homes. I love sharing what makes our desert communities such an incredible place to call home.

Have fun, stay cool, and I'll see you in the next events roundup! 🌴☀️
