Italy's Most Popular Cocktail Invites Festival Goers to Join the Joy for a Third Year
Aperol®, the iconic Italian aperitivo, is returning to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for its third consecutive year. As the Official Spritz Partner of the festival, Aperol is debuting a new immersive experience for attendees, packed with different spontaneous moments and daily surprises to elevate their festival adventure to unforgettable heights.
The Aperol Spritz Piazza comes to life as a vibrant Italian oasis adorned in Aperol orange in the heart of General Admission. Designed to feel like an Italian square, the Aperol Spritz Piazza is where friends can gather and relax while celebrating Italy's #1 cocktail* and toasting to the desert sunset.
Within the Aperol Spritz Piazza guests can enjoy lively interactive experiences like unforgettable photo moments and immersive digital trivia for a chance to win exclusive prizes that infuse the vibrant joy of Aperol into each day of the festival. The lively atmosphere will make it the perfect place to enjoy the Italian spirit of Aperol.
The fun begins on Day 1, when festival goers will have the chance to take part in a digital challenge in the Aperol Spritz Piazza featuring trivia questions about Aperol and the iconic Aperol Spritz. Guests who partake in trivia will be entered to win exclusive prizes to enhance their festival weekend experience, including Coachella merchandise store gift cards, tickets to Outstanding in the Field, and more. On Day 2, festival-goers can stop by to customize their festival fits with bespoke sunset glow ups inspired by the bright and bubbly Aperol Spritz. Guests can choose from a variety of looks to add an extra pop of orange to perfect their outfits and stand out in style. Finally, Day 3 will provide an unforgettable, must-have photo moment to capture festival memories. A bright-orange immersive photo display inspired by the desert valley will feature layered mountains, palm trees, and a sun with golden hour lighting and mirrored features, making it a can't miss experience.
In addition to the Aperol Spritz Piazza, Aperol can be found at the Aperol Ape in the VIP Rose Garden, the Aperol Spritz Bar in the 12 Peaks VIP Area, and in the Safari Campgrounds.
"Aperol has always been about bringing people together and creating moments of joy," said Allison Varone, Campari America's Head of Marketing. "For our third year at Coachella, we wanted to create a space where festival-goers can immerse themselves in the spirit of Aperol. The new experience in the Aperol Spritz Piazza is our way of offering something spontaneous and exciting every day, making Coachella 2025 even more memorable for everyone who joins the joy."
Aperol will also bring the spirit of Italy to the Safari Campgrounds. To kick off the festival, on Thursday April 10 and 17 from 6-8pm, Aperol invites Safari guests 21+ to gather at the Safari Fountain to toast to the start of the weekend. Additionally, to celebrate an unforgettable festival filled with joy, new connections, and lasting memories, Aperol invites LDA attendees to return, on Sunday April 13 and 20, to the Safari Fountain to commemorate the weekend's final day.
