Budweiser Clydesdales Head To Palm Desert For Stagecoach Festival 2024

Giant draught horses and draft beer collide this week in Palm Desert. The enormous Clydesdales are coming! Where to see them on El Paseo.

PALM DESERT, CA—From beer deliveries to photo opportunities, the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are returning to the Coachella Valley for the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this week.

The enormous working "draught" horses arrive at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival each year. In 2024, the headliners are Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and Morgan Wallen.

If you want to see the Clydesdales, head to El Paseo Shopping District. On Wednesday, they will welcome the Clydesdales as they unload and hitch at 1 p.m. behind the Daily Grill, a modern, casual chain that serves American food and has a full bar in Palm Desert.

This is an annual beer delivery, with the team stopping at select restaurants in El Paseo ahead of the weekend-long concert.

The horses will then trot down El Paseo at 2 p.m., making beer deliveries to the restaurants along the path. Anyone can get a sight of the horses while having lunch at one of the various restaurant patios or standing by the route.
