Coachella to hold 'Berniechella'

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Coachella will be “feeling the Bern” soon, as the city plans for a block party/rally dubbed “Berniechella” on April 21 and 22.

Just before the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, will host the Bernie Sanders Block Party from 5 p.m. to midnight April 21 and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 22, on Grapefruit Boulevard and Vine Street in Old Town Coachella.

The free event is expected to draw between 1,500 and 3,000 people, although similar events nationwide have attracted as many as 10,000 people.


I'll be heading out of town about that time.
