Eat out on the street with the street vendors, or slip into a sidewalk café and enjoy the quaint atmosphere that defines Palm Springs. Artists with unique and inspiring work impress even me, a not-so-artsy kinda guy! =)

Many vendor's with food, bakery items, organic fruit, drinks and much much more. An evening stroll down all the stalls looking and buying wares. Lots of noise and people, a nice mix.

We loved being able to stroll the streets once it cooled down- ( 100) instead of 109 :) There were great artists, music, horses, we enjoyed the brats, the gyro and of course a funnel cake! YUM~

I come from the UK where we have the world famous Continental Market visit once a year however VillageFest is something else and much, much bigger than anything I've been to before. Great atmosphere and something for everyone!

I'm not really a fan of streetfairs, but it was interesting to visit (not my first time) and it can be fun for those who are into this kind of activity.

better experienced if you don't have to DRIVE and PARK. When we stayed a block away, it was perfect. In March, wall to wall people. In May, not as crowded...better

Palm Springs closes its main street on Thursday nights for an eclectic arts fair. Lots of interesting food and great people watching. The weather was perfect for my visit, making this particular evening almost magical. Highly recommend.
