The Desert Daze music festival, originally scheduled to take place in Lake Perris, Southern California, from October 10 to October 13, has been canceled. Organizers announced the decision on Friday via social media, citing the challenges posed by the "volatile festival market" and rising production costs as the primary reasons for the cancelation, an announcement read.

Desert Daze, known for its independent spirit, was run by a small team dedicated to live music and community. In their announcement, organizers emphasized the difficulty of maintaining an independent festival in today's competitive market, ultimately making it impossible to proceed with the event as planned.
