For the eleventh year running, Neon Carnival will triumphantly return for Coachella weekend (Saturday 16 April) with Levis and Tequila Don Julio as sponsors. While the Carnival is known to be invite-only, The Hilton will be hosting the Neon experience in the “Paris World” metaverse giving those at home the opportunity to virtually partake in the action-packed fun.

The event idea was first conceived by LA nightlife connoisseur Brent Bolthouse and brought to life by Best Events. Since then, its buzz has previously attracted high-profile attendees, including Drake, French Montana, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna and more.

“We can’t wait to return back to the desert and celebrate our 11-year anniversary of Neon Carnival. It’s been a long two years and we are excited to catch up with some old friends and meet new ones,” said Bolthouse further.

The venue will host all lucky festival attendees who will be be entertained by also carnival games and amusement park attractions. On top of this, the event is extending beyond the physical and into the metaverse for the first time this year, enlisting Paris Hilton to host the event in “Paris World” on Roblox.
