Events - Palm Springs VillageFest

Photography by Jay Jorgensen

Desert Scenes - The Coachella Valley offers an array of social events and gatherings ideal for visiting with friends, making new ones, and exploring the desert resort neighborhoods.

Each month we’ll highlight a new desert scene to open your eyes to the eclectic personalities and multitude of events perfect for people watching, tourist exploration, and getting involved in the community.

VillageFest

A popular weekly street festival in downtown Palm Springs, VillageFest brings thousands of people to the heart of the city each Thursday for an evening of old-fashioned community fun. Smell the fresh popped kettle corn, order up a tasty confection, and mingle with friends and families while eyeing handcrafted artistry from ceramics and pottery to jewelry and clothing.

Kid and dog friendly, the festival is held on historic Palm Canyon Drive. The street, free from traffic, opens up for visitors to peruse more than 200 booths offering artwork, food fruits and vegetables, even massage.



Downtown stores and restaurants stay open late and the Palm Springs Art Museum offers free admission during VillageFest. Join in on the fun from 6 to 10 p.m. every Thursday.

If there’s a community, event, or gathering you want to know more about?  Send suggestions of a desert scene that you’d like to see.
