Riverside’s historical landmark Farm House Motel is getting a new lifeline packed with food, shops and live entertainment.
The property, originally constructed in 1953, will reopen as the Farm House Collective on Saturday, March 29. According to its website, it will offer “15 spaces for local eateries, small retail outposts, and a large garden in a mix of restored motel buildings, creative retail kiosks and new vernacular architecture.”
One of the space’s additions features a new 500-capacity stage that will host live performances curated in partnerships with Desert Daze co-founder Phil Pirrone and Riverside local and acclaimed Daptone Records producer Gabriel Roth, aka Bosco Mann, whose Penrose Records label imprint resides in Riverside.
The Los Angeles rock band Allah-Lahs and Reverbnation Radio will perform on opening night on Saturday, March 29. Other acts, including Wand, Elijah Fox, Los Yesterdays, É Arenas, Quitapenas, Souls of Mischief, and more, are slated for the next couple of months.
