Neon Carnival is a true spectacle, featuring carnival rides, games, and music, as well as plenty of food and drinks. But what really sets it apart is the impressive lineup of celebrities in attendance. Over the years, the party has been graced by the likes of Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Drake, and Beyoncé.

In addition to the A-listers, Neon Carnival also draws a host of up-and-coming stars and influencers. Attendees can rub shoulders with Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Vanessa Hudgens, and Paris Hilton, to name just a few. The event also attracts some of the biggest names in music, with performers like The Weeknd, Travis Scott, and Post Malone all making appearances in past years.
But Neon Carnival is more than just a hotspot for celebrity sightings. The event itself is a vibrant, neon-lit carnival atmosphere with a lively energy that’s impossible to replicate anywhere else. With colorful lights, neon signs, and an electrifying atmosphere, Neon Carnival is a must-see for anyone attending the desert music festival.
As the years have gone on, Neon Carnival has become a staple of the desert music festival experience, attracting a growing number of attendees each year.
