Where to park, shuttle buses, what to bring

With thousands of people expected to attend former President Donald Trump’s outdoor rally in the eastern Coachella Valley on Saturday, guidance is finally being provided on where to park and how people will get to the venue.

The Trump campaign said Friday that all guests will arrive by shuttle bus and people will not be allowed to walk or ride rideshare vehicles to the venue, a remote ranch. Instead, participants will be able to park at three designated locations starting at 6 a.m. and receive transportation to and from the venue. At the end of the event they must make sure they get on a bus that goes to the correct parking lot.

  • Red lot: Fullenwider Auditorium, within the Riverside County Fairgrounds, 82-503 CA-111, Indio (use entrance on Calhoun Blvd);
  • Green Lot: The large parking lot across from Shelee’s Travel Center, 46-355 Dillon Road, Indio (near Spotlight 29 Casino); or
  • Yellow Lot: The lot west of the AM/PM gas station at 44-333 Golf Center Parkway, Indio.

Handicapped parking is limited at designated locations, RVs and overnight parking are not permitted.

At the venue, Calhoun Ranch between Coachella and Indio, gates open at noon and the program begins at 3 p.m. Trump’s remarks are expected to begin at 5 p.m., but the campaign said guests should arrive no later than 2 p.m

Significant delays are expected on Monroe Street and Jefferson Street toward Coachella, with Monroe Street most impacted during peak event hours of 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Avenue 52 and Avenue 53 will be closed to traffic from Monroe Street to Van Buren Street on Saturday. Residents should expect delays at the Avenue 52 and Jefferson Street roundabout in La Quinta.

Here’s what else you should know if you plan to attend the event.

Here’s how to get in

Registration for tickets remains open at donaldjtrump.com/events. However, the ticket sales page states that having a ticket does not guarantee entry, which is on a first-come, first-served basis. Media reports from previous rallies say that late arrivals are often denied entry and that people are admitted one at a time as they leave, which some media reports suggest is the case given the typical length of the rallies.

When it starts

According to Trump’s website, the venue’s doors open at 12 p.m.

The Trump campaign said the event’s pre-show begins at 3 p.m. Trump is scheduled to take the stage at 5 p.m

However, if other recent Trump rallies are any guide, the former president could begin his remarks as early as an hour to 90 minutes after the scheduled start time. Trump is also scheduled to speak at a rally in Prescott, Arizona – about 270 miles from Coachella – on Saturday at 2 p.m.

What to expect from the program

While the campaign does not specify a complete schedule, rallies typically consist of several speeches by local Republicans leading up to a speech by Trump. The former president is known for his long speeches, lasting at least an hour and some as long as two hours.

Who will speak before Trump?

The campaign has made no announcements about who will speak. However, former KMIR anchor Dan Ball told The Uken Report that he would speak at the rally about the importance of electing Trump and other Republicans. Ball now hosts a conservative talk show that airs on the One America Network.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a vocal Trump supporter, told The Desert Sun on Thursday that he would be at the event to ensure everyone’s safety. He added that he did not plan to speak but would if asked.

A pleasant prognosis

It will be hot, although highs are expected to be lower than many of the past few days. The National Weather Service forecasts sunny skies, light winds and highs around 100 degrees. The Weather Channel predicts the temperature will be 98 degrees when Trump begins his comments before dropping to about 85 degrees at 7 p.m

How many people will be there?

The Trump campaign apparently hasn’t said how many people it expects or how many will be approved. But the Riverside County Fire Marshal’s office confirmed to The Desert Sun that it approved a maximum capacity of 15,000 people in a permit for the event.

What to bring with you

Since the event is taking place in a desert area and high temperatures are expected, there are a few essential items that most people will probably want to bring with them. This includes:

  • Sun protection
  • A filled water bottle (no glass, thermal or metal containers allowed)
  • A fully charged cell phone charger or battery
  • A hat

Conditions at the rally will likely resemble those of a hot day at the Stagecoach or Coachella music festivals. Last year, The Desert Sun put together a more detailed list of what to bring to these festivals. Find it here.

What not to bring

The campaign said the items listed below were not allowed and noted that other items could also be banned at the discretion of security inspectors. As a former president and current candidate, Trump is under the protection of the US secret service.

  • Banners, signs or posters
  • Alcoholic drinks
  • Balloons
  • Laser lights or pointers
  • E-cigarettes
  • Glass, thermal or metal containers
  • Noisemakers like air horns or drums
  • Tripods
  • Umbrellas
  • Bags and purses larger than 12 x 14 x 5 inches
