California Deserts Winter, Spring Fests
Pictured is one of many guided tours at Palm Springs Modernism Week. If you’re interested in attending get booking fast. Some tours are sold out.
Even the popular winter destinations in the Palm desert are lucky enough to get some rain this week but for those with travel plans, don’t worry. By Friday the temperature will be back to a comfortable 76 degrees — and 80 by Monday of next week. Is it any wonder why California desert communities are the go-to place for those seeking sunshine to warm the bones? We’ve put together a list of upcoming events that tourists love to attend.
