Now in its eighth year, the Neon Carnival — one of the most notorious after-parties during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — raged on in Thermal, California, this past weekend.

While unaffiliated with Coachella, the invite-only event has become popular with both celebrities and fans who are attending the music festival.

This year, celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Diddy were spotted at the star-studded event. Ahead, take a look inside the party. 

Neon Carnival is a giant dance party complete with amusement park rides, games, and photo booths.

The party is hosted on a landing strip at the Desert Resorts Regional Airport in Thermal, California.

DJ Ruckus played for the massive crowd.

Drake and French Montana were spotted.

Diddy was in the crowd too.

Actor Aaron Paul attended with his wife, Lauren Parsekian.

Levi’s, along with Tequila Don Julio, sponsors the event.

 

Attendees came out in their Coachella best.

 

When not on the dance floor, attendees can drive bumper cars …

 

 

… or even ride down giant slides.

 

The party reportedly went well past 3 a.m. this year.

 

If you don’t get on the guest list beforehand, don’t bother trying to get in. Brent Bolthouse, whose production company puts on the event each year, told The Wrap, “We don’t sell tables and we don’t sell tickets.”

Bolthouse has said that Neon Carnival is his proudest accomplishment.
