No wristband? No problem! We’ve got you covered with a dapper weekend filled with inexpensive yet amazingly fun stuff to do…
Some are free, others cost a few bucks but none of these are as expensive as Coachella, guaranteed!
1) Attend the Renaissance Faire
Artisans, games, rides, plus the Queen and her glittering Court, amazing arts and crafts, delicious food, fine spirits, music, dance and fancy parades. Every weekend from 10am until 7pm until May 21st.
Adults $29.95 Child (5-12) $15 Under 4 FREE
2) Catch Citizen Jane: Battle for the City
Citizen Jane is a timely tale of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better world. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than Jane Jacobs #ShePersisted

3) Host a ‘Staychella’ Party
We’re sure you’re not the only one from your squad with no money not going to Coachella, grab your besties and plan a house party while listening to ONLY Coachella performers, have some fruit, smores and any other hipsterish’ food items you can think of. Bring Coachella to your casa!
4) Step out in style at the Dapper Day Expo
If you still feel the need to show the world what an exquisite fashion taste you have and how amazing you can match patterns with polka dots, attend the annual (and FREE!) Dapper Expo in Anaheim. Think vintage, retro, pinup, contemporary yet fashion forward clothing pieces and accessories.
5) Catch the Anaheim Ducks v. Calgary Flames game
If you happen to like hockey and have at least $40 to spare plus drinking money, always consider “drinking money” …
6) Visit The Flower Fields
When you’re <thisclose> to be over Coachella filters you must step your selfie-game up and post ASAP that killer photo and these 50 acres of extraordinary color are ideal for this. Open seven days a week from 9am t 6pm.
Adults $14 Children (3-10) $7 Under 2 FREE
7) Update your wardrobe
Go on a shopping spree inspired by Coachella’s 1st weekend trends: black lace, metallic tops, off-the-shoulder blouses, anything-sheer, fringe (again!) and don’t forget the bandana!
