The Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival presented by Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is back with a brand-new theme celebrating both the ancient desert dream and the American dream built here in the Coachella Valley.

Step into our 1001 Nights legacy with California’s second-longest running outdoor play (the Date Pageant), community performances on the historic Arabian Nights stage designed by MGM set designer Harry Oliver, and 40+ date treats—from classic date shakes to date beer-battered corndogs.

This year also marks the grand opening of the National Date Festival Museum inside the newly renamed Sands of Time Pavilion, alongside the Coachella Valley Model Railroaders’ display and vintage home movies curated by local nonprofit Deserted Films —offering a rare look back at Date Festivals of the past.

Then slide into mid-century desert style at the all-new Oasis Tiki Lounge, a tropical escape right in the middle of the Fair & Date Fest.
