VillageFest
Kicking off July in Palm Springs is one of the city’s most beloved weekly traditions. VillageFest turns Palm Canyon Drive into a pedestrian-only festival every Thursday night. During July, it runs from 7 PM to 10 PM and gives you a chance to enjoy cooler desert evenings while browsing artisan goods, listening to live music, and sampling fresh eats from local vendors. The vibe is casual and welcoming, perfect for families or couples who want to experience the city like a local.
As you stroll the street, expect to find handmade jewelry, desert-themed art, and plenty of food stands offering everything from tamales to fresh lemonade. Local musicians set the soundtrack and street performers keep things lively. Each week is a little different, so if you’re in town for more than one Thursday, you might want to check it out twice.
Food Truck Fridays
Make your way to Downtown Indio on Friday nights for Food Truck Fridays. This weekly summer event brings together local food trucks, musicians, and families for an evening that blends good eats with great vibes. From 5 PM to 10 PM, Towne Street and Bliss Avenue become a street party full of flavors, laughter, and live entertainment.
Every week features a rotating lineup of food trucks offering everything from barbecue and tacos to vegan treats and frozen desserts. The communal atmosphere makes it easy to mingle, and there’s usually something for everyone in the group. It’s also a pet-friendly event, so bring the dog along for the ride.
Live music adds to the ambiance, with local bands and solo artists keeping the energy high. The sunset backdrop against the desert sky turns the evening into something magical. It’s an easy, low-pressure event perfect for winding down the week or starting the weekend.
