Indio
Dubbed the City of Festivals, Indio has become a destination for foodies and music lovers, attracting more than one million people annually to its world-renowned events, including the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and Stagecoach Country Music Festival at the Empire Polo Grounds. For an authentic taste of the Valley, don’t miss the Indio International Tamale Festival, where dozens of homemade tamales feature flavors such as pumpkin, vegan green chile and chocolate cherry. Of course, there’s the date shake. Many local eateries serve creamy, ice-cold shakes made with the Coachella Valley’s favorite fruit. Sip yours while strolling through the date groves and citrus trees at Shields Date Garden & Café , an Indio mainstay since 1924. Other must-see attractions include the Coachella Valley History Museum , home to the world’s only date museum, the Riverside County Fairgrounds , host site of the Riverside County Fair and Date Festival, the Empire Polo Grounds and Fantasy Springs Resort Casino , one of the most luxurious hotels in Indio, known for its 2,000-plus slot machines, a steady lineup of touring acts, and late-night laser bowling.
