Palm Desert is a beautiful desert community located just 10 miles
from Palm Springs. This affluent community is home to the El Paseo
Shopping District, which is known as “the Rodeo Drive of
the Desert.” Here, you can enjoy over 150 shops, art galleries,
jewelry stores, clothing boutiques and fine restaurants. With sunshine
almost every day of the year, golf is a popular sport in Palm Desert
and you have more than 80 championship courses to choose from!
Other things to do in town include visiting the Living Desert,
which is a 1,200-acre wildlife and botanic garden park, or take
a jeep tour of the desert, or a trip to the Children’s Discovery
Museum. Special events are ongoing throughout the year, with some
of the more well known being the Palm Desert Spring Fest, a spectacular
4th of July Fireworks Show, and a series of outdoor concerts and
films. But, the most unique festival of all is the Palm Desert
Golf Cart Parade, which is usually held in November. This festival
features lively decorated golf carts, live entertainment, food,
children’s games and celebrity guests! Palm Desert has big
city amenities with a small town feel – and is the only town
where golf carts are street legal!
