    Small & cute festival. Saw online and drove down to check it out. There is a concert that was…read morefree but only for the local city residents, others is around $11-$12/person, which is not bad for the small community - it came with 2hrs concert, small street foods fairs and 4 hot air balloons shown. Great amphitheater venue and great area for the fair. There are roughly about 15-20 booths, most are foods and most are deep fry or grill and beers/cocktails booths. Other than that, not much to do.

    I only went to the evening events, and I didn't do the breakfast. But, what I did go to was…read moreawesome. I think the Glow Up event was really cool, especially since you can walk around and under the balloons. It has a great vibe and it's free. Glow Up is a dance event? I don't think so. If it were, there would be a dance floor. That said, everyone walking around, chatting with strangers, taking cool balloon pictures, and enjoying the awesome weather was great fun. Great music, but the Mayor's welcome speech had a dead mic. I'm sure whatever she said was good. There are good restaurants around, I'm partial to Desert Thai, but there are other options that are all good. Roost has good cocktails and had a singer that was blowing it out. What I like is that walking between the two Blow Ups, San Jacinto Rd Miguel Casino and Cathedral City, there was plenty of space to not feel crowded out. Everyone seemed welcome. Families and couples, of all orientations, meandered and got along. Not just got along, actually enjoyed hanging with each other. This amazing event was free. Hard to complain about anything, when it's completely free.

    I've been a few times the past few months. Didn't even know about this event until chatting up with…read moreanother couple sitting next to us and she mentioned if we've even been. That was a while back so when we were back in town and it fell on the day, it was a given to check it out. But unfortunately the first time that we were going, they had to shut it down to the crazy wind that was happening. Now, the past month, I've been at least twice already. It's held downtown along Palm Canyon Drive for a couple of blocks. Streets are closed for vendors and visitors. Thursday evening from 6-10 pm and 7-10 during the summer months. Village fest, featuring arts, crafts, food, entertainment and shopping. Parking available in the covered parking structure, outdoor parking lot or street parking. Mainly where you would park if your walking around downtown minus Palm Canyon as it's blocked off. Loads of vendors both with retails as well as small businesses are there showcasing the goods. You have loads of arts and crafts, jewelry, apparel, gifts, artwork both sculptures and prints. Baked goods, amazing pastries, cookies and bread. Walking along the strip, at both ends tends to be where the food trucks are. One end usually just have the ice cream truck and another dessert truck. While the other will have all your favorite. Bbq, Mexican food, Filipino food, and so on. Actually quite a nice selection of food. They have some seating set up but majority tends to just either stands or sit along the curb. It does get pretty busy with people checking out the vendors. It's also nice that the stores along the strip stay open as well. Crowds are alway nice and mellow as everyone is there for the same thing. Loads of family and couples out and about. The vendors are alway so sweet. Everything displays are quite fun. Some things are a bit on the higher priced side but still nice to check out. Theres always live entertainment in the middle keeping the mood lively. We like to have dinner and then walk around to check things out and pick up a couple of baked goods for home. A fun Thursday night out and about in town.

    Great vibes, nice setup with the music playing at different points on the walk, well organized,…read morelots of cute vendors and most shops were open for business and very friendly despite the chaos of the large influx of people. Very fun evening out.

    A last minute trip that was so worth it. So glad that I decided to come this year. It's been a…read morewhile since I was last at Palm Springs Pride and this year was a blast. The parade starts at 10:00am along the main strip leading to downtown. Parking wasn't too bad as we knew that the main area would be closed off. A lot of the residential area had parking available so it wasn't too bad. Along the main strip, everyone was already situated with their chairs and ready for a fun experience. We ended up finding a place for brunch that was right on the blvd. Brunch and a parade on deck, it was nice. Security was on point and scattered throughout. Walking about keeping everyone safe and enjoying it just like everyone else. We were all there for the same reason, to celebrate Pride. It's was beautiful to see everyone out and about all for the same reason. Loving each other and welcoming everyone. Parade started on time I believe as we were somewhat in the middle of the route. It was lovely to see all the locals with floats displaying so much love and color. The excitement in everyone cheering each other. All the different business, company marching together. The fun lively music going down the street to keep the energy alive. It was a hot one that day so it was nice to be able to be at a restaurant. After the parade, everyone walks towards the main area which is right in the heart of town and at Arena. The focal point, the Ferris wheel. Loads of food vendors offering amazing dishes. The stores were all open welcoming everyone in. A small section was blocked off for all the vendors off Arena. As well as where the bars were. Dance stages were set up for all the outdoor fun. Once the sun set, the party was happening. Everyone's out enjoying and having a blast. The crowd of colorful people celebrating love and pride. Bars were packed, people walking around and just enjoying themselves. It's open to everyone. Compared to other pride festivals, this was free. My favorite out of all the others I've attended. It's held in November when the weather is better. But all the times I've been, it's been hot. So stay hydrated at all time. Hotels tends to host lots of parties so you'll find someplace to party. Restaurant is all amazing. If you ever get a chance, experience Palm Springs Pride at least once. It a lot of fun...

    The parade has ended but the festival is still ongoing. Parade is community based with lots of…read morepoliticians. The festival is still free with lots of giveaways. People are happy with pride.

There was a ferris wheel for the children and you can take pictures with Santa. There could have been a little improvement here. When we arrived at 700pm, most of the food was gone and there were a lot of pastries and dessert. The good thing was the bar throughout the place, so I had my share of drinks. There was a a mini concert as well. Overall was Meh and I left an hour later and bar hopped with my friends instead.

    I have attended many, many local festivals in the Coachella Valley, which have varied wildly in…read moreadmission price. A Miracle on El Paseo is easily head and shoulders above every other festival I have attended. Part of El Paseo is blocked off for the event, which included music, appetizers (both passed and available for pick-up at tables) from nearby restaurants, and multiple open bars sponsored by Lu Lu's. There was also a "tree lighting" ceremony emceed by ice skating legend Dorothy Hamill. All of this for $50! Suggestions for improvement: the local youth dance club who performed during the event were, well, just not very good. There may have been some "porta potties" located somewhere, but if there were, I didn't see them, and could have used one. Would also have been nice if Ms. Hamill would have stuck around a bit after the tree lighting and worked the crowd a little, but she was whisked away almost immediately.
