Entertainment

On a 15 acre Yucca Valley property, Mon Petit Mojave hosts free drive-in concerts as a labor of love to help keep music alive during these trying and socially distant times. As the founders Jacqueline Herrera and Jeremie Levi put it, "Mon Petit Mojave celebrates art, nature and community" and they do this by providing community funded access to the arts in a beautiful natural setting. (They also host weddings and events). To learn more or RSVP for a concert visit monpetitmojave.com

This is a legendary small music venue with some pretty damn good BBQ to boot. Definitely worth a look or, better, go early for food and catch one of the shows at night.

Many will argue that this is the most elevated culinary experience available in the high desert - and I don't disagree. Be sure to reserve a table while planning your trip as reservations can be hard to come by.

The Tiny Pony is a Yucca Valley local favorite and has super delicious and elevated bar food. From duck confit nachos, to lemon habanero cheesecake, this is a great stop for a drink and a bite.

In our opinion, Dez's coffee and chai is arguably the best in the high desert. But don't sleep on the great food either! They serve up great pastries and sandwiches and can help you stock up for a picnic in the park.

Great local bakery serving up pastries, muffins, cookies, brownies sandwiches, bread and drinks. Grab some for your group in the morning and be a hero or, better, pick up your picnic on the way into the park's east entrance.
