A new venue in Joshua Tree?
As members of the hi desert cultural fabric since 2007, we firmly believe in respecting the beauty of our home and responsibly conducting our gatherings. Desert Stars takes pride in showcasing local artists and local vendors at our events. We welcome all into our community and hope you will join us. Should you have concerns, please contact us.
Can I volunteer?
We are always in need of volunteers to help with everything from stage crew, construction crew, projections, lighting, security, street teams and more. If you are interested in offering your skill or a hand to the festival, please send us a message. Volunteers who donate 6 hours or more of their time on or off site will receive a free day pass. Those who volunteer for 9 hours or more will receive a free weekend pass to the event.
How can my band play ?
Each year we receive more and more submissions and yet we have only a relatively small set number of slots available. We listen to ALL submissions and we appreciate how hard you work as an artist. We welcome submissions but please do not be dismayed if we can't accommodate you ! Also, do not give up! Most of the bands who play are people who submitted over a year in advance.
Where is the nearest airport to Desert Stars?
Palm Springs airport is about 40 minutes drive to Joshua Tree. LAX and Burbank are approximately 2.5 hours away.
What are the traffic conditions like coming into the Yucca Valley / Joshua Tree region ?
If traveling from San Bernardino, LA County and San Diego County, we recommend leaving in the morning to avoid rush hour traffic leaving densely populated areas. Please be respectful as you drive through Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree. We are a small community and as such we ask that you mind all posted speed limits, drive safely and respect the beauty of our community.
Did you know the effects of alcohol hit harder at higher elevation?
