The Palm Springs Valley is known for its year round sunshine, golf, resorts and more, but many people don’t realize just how many amazing, world class events happen here. As we enter the traditional “season” in the valley, we thought we’d post a listing of some of the great annual events. The official sites are linked below, and The Desert Sun does a great job of posting articles and reviews of each event (scroll down on the left side). Rancho Las Palmas is located right in the center of the valley in Rancho Mirage, directly across from The River, and the perfect home base for any event. We’ll post more about each event and special resort deals as they get closer!
