Palm Springs, CA

The desert evenings are cooling down, and that means Palm Springs’ signature weekly street fair is ready to shine under the autumn sky. Beginning Thursday, October 2, VillageFest will return to its fall schedule, welcoming thousands of locals and visitors from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. every Thursday night.

Stretching along Palm Canyon Drive between Baristo and Amado Roads, the beloved event transforms downtown Palm Springs into a lively pedestrian promenade filled with sights, sounds, and flavors unique to the Coachella Valley.

Regularly voted the best weekly street fair in the valley, VillageFest brings together over 200 booths offering local art, handcrafted goods, fresh produce, and delicious culinary creations. Guests can shop one-of-a-kind pieces, sample unique bites, and connect with artisans while enjoying live entertainment under the stars.

Beyond the street fair itself, the festive energy spills into the surrounding neighborhood. Shops, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants stay open late, giving attendees the chance to explore more of downtown Palm Springs long after the sun sets.

With the return of its fall hours, VillageFest invites everyone to take advantage of the cooler evenings, soak up the community spirit, and experience why this weekly gathering has become a time-honored tradition in Palm Springs.
