La Quinta Arts Festival 2008 | Coachella Music Festival Lineup 2008

The La Quinta Arts Festival starts in a week and a half (March 13 - 16th), this prestigious event features over 200 artists from around the world showing and selling their craft. This will be the first year without Merv Griffin a HUGE and active supporter of the festival. He died in August of last year and he will be missed by all.

Here is a list of the invited artists.

It should be beautiful weather as usual so I look forward to strolling the grounds and enjoying some supreme artwork.

Every year the Coachella Music (and Arts) Festival (April 25th - 27th) comes to town and plays at the Empire Polo Grounds, it injects a little bit of youth into a valley whose average aged resident is 35 (it used to be higher).

Coachella is essentially the final hurrah before the start of summer sets in. We have a few other events then the long, hot summer falls upon us and we wait it all out until October, that's when the valley wakes up again to the start of the PGA tour.
