Local Intel - things to see and do off the beaten path
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.

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.
