The festivities include two pre-event cocktail parties. On March 14th, Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage will host a formal runway fashion show and cocktail party featuring designers Grayse, Trina Turk and Kyle x Shahida with the theme, What to Wear to Polo.

On March 18th, Desert Jet will host the Meet the Polo Players cocktail party at the Desert Jet Center executive hangar facility at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal, amidst private jets and 2022 Mercedes-Benz automobiles on display. Hospitality host Melissa Morgan Fine Art will offer guests libations from the various specialty bars (Vodka Martini Bar / Comisario Tequila Bar) and hors d'oeuvres.

On March 19th, an exciting afternoon polo match, hat contest, half-time money run, vendors, wine, cheese and charcuterie plates, and an evening hot air balloon glow are planned for the day at the El Sarandi Polo Field in Thermal.

Four ticket options are available, ranging from Millionaires Row, Billionaires Row, Saturday Car Pass and Sunday Car Pass. The Millionaire and Billionaire Row tickets are all-inclusive, with access to all events (two pre-event cocktail parties, polo match and balloon glow).

Desert Jet continues its focus to bring added value and benefits to its discerning clientele through its luxury and lifestyle partnership network.

“Polo is synonymous with wealth and luxury, as is Desert Jet, our official private jet company,” said Polo America president Randy Russell. “But underneath is a work ethic that is unmatched. To be a good polo player, you are constantly working on your game and your string of horses. Desert Jet reflects the same traits. Its team is constantly working to improve its clients' experience and improve its fleet. Polo America is proud to have Desert Jet join us as a sponsor of the Agua Caliente Casinos Polo & Balloon Classic.”

“Polo has a long history in the Coachella Valley, and the Agua Caliente Casinos Polo & Balloon Classic is the latest chapter in great polo in our area,” stated Desert Jet chief executive officer Jared Fox. “Desert Jet is pleased to be the official private jet company of this exciting weekend of fun as we enjoy great polo, exciting parties, and perfect desert weather. As the Coachella Valley continues to grow, Desert Jet is honoured to sponsor the events that make this such a great place to live and play."
