Coachella – The Hue Music & Arts Committee is proud to host the Third Annual The Hue Music & Arts Festival which will feature local and international artists from genres of music, cultural arts, food, and interactive art opportunities for festival-goers of all ages.

The festival will take place Saturday, April 6, from 1 to 10 p.m. at Dateland Park, 85338 Bagdad Avenue.

New to this year’s festival will be a massive art exhibit which will also be featured at Coachella, skateboarding exhibit sponsored by Epidemic Skate Shop, a youth poetry slam, and a health expo in partnership with Dr. Oz’s HealthCorps.

The Hue Fest line-up will feature local and international groups such as Horroscopes, Machin, Tribesmen, Sons of the Desert, and 2013 Grammy Award winning artist Quetzal.

The Hue is a collaborative year-long project where youth plan and execute the event with the support of various sponsors including the Regional Access Project Foundation, Goldenvoice, Coachella Valley Teachers Association, City of Coachella, Coachella Valley Unified School District, California School Employees Association and Riverside County Supervisor Benoit to name a few.

“The Hue is the sum of the beauty our community is as a whole when you bring all its differences together,” said Erika Castellanos, a member of The Hue marketing subcommittee.

Diego Zamora, member of The Hue art subcommittee added, “The Hue is a connection of people from around the valley who have formed new bonds to execute an event that celebrates culture, art and music”.

The Hue Music & Arts Festival is a project of Building Healthy Communities Eastern Coachella Valley which is a comprehensive community initiative that is creating a revolution in the way Californians think about and support health in their communities. Residents and partners in the City of Coachella and the unincorporated communities of Mecca, Thermal and North Shore are proving that they can make health happen in their neighborhoods, schools and with prevention — and in doing so, they are creating a brighter future for their children.
