The Empire Polo Club in Indio is one of the most famous event grounds in the world — home to Coachella and Stagecoach festivals and a year-round destination for polo matches, private events, and large-scale celebrations. Whether you’re hosting a festival weekend party, a pre-show VIP gathering, or a private event near the polo grounds, Big Smoke BBQ has the catering locked down.
We specialize in drop-off BBQ catering near the Indio Polo Grounds — slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, surf & turf, and cookout classics delivered directly to your venue, vacation rental, or event space. We’ve handled festival weekend catering for groups from 10 to 250+ across the Coachella Valley.
