'The HI-CHEW Getaway,' an immersive brand experience inspired by HI-CHEW’s newest tropical flavor assortment, debuts at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with two unique activations during Weekend 1 (April 11–13) and Weekend 2 (April 18–20). These activations were designed to showcase the 'HI-CHEW Getaway Mix' and provide attendees with a vibrant, vacation-inspired escape.
On the festival grounds, guests enter The HI-CHEW Getaway installation, where they could sample the latest flavor mix, take photos in front of a tropical-themed backdrop, and enjoy specialty refreshers including Mango Fresca, Mai Tai, and Fizzy Yuzu Limeade—each evoking the spirit of a sunny getaway.
Additionally, at the festival campgrounds, a "HI-CHEW-branded airstream offered paletas in mango chamoy, pineapple, and lime, as well as tastings of the new HI-CHEW flavors: Mango Chamoy, Mai Tai, and Yuzu Lime." Overall, these activations provide a flavorful and interactive experience for festival attendees.
