ANAHEIM, Calif. — Before it became home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the desert city of Indio was known for its date groves.
Milkshakes made with dates are one of the culinary attractions visitors look for during their time in the valley for the festival or its sister event, the Stagecoach Country Music Festival. Coachella takes over the 78-acre Empire Polo Club April 14-16 and April 21-23, followed by Stagecoach, which is scheduled for April 28-30.
While there are plenty of food concessions on festival grounds, people may want to eat before getting to the venue or after spending a long day at the event.
