Empire Polo Club kicks off 2019 polo season
The Empire Polo Club announced their 2019 polo season schedule and held their “soft opening” on Sunday. The official “Opening Day & Hat Day” at Empire Polo Club is scheduled for Sunday, January 6th, 2019.
“It’s always thrilling to see how many people show up here to watch polo. That’s our goal you know is to introduce the sport of polo to as many people as we can here in the Coachella Valley,” said Kevin Ittig, the Operations Manager.
This year’s polo season will continue each Sunday through March 31st, 2019. There are two featured matches every Sunday at 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m.
Spectators can enjoy polo brunch once again this year — an attraction that was so popular last year the club has decided to offer it once a month throughout the season. Guests also have access to several bar, food and lounge areas while watching the matches. You can sign up for e-news and updates from the Empire Polo Club here.
