VillageFest

The VillageFest is the brainstorm of the late Sonny Bono and is located along Palm Canyon Drive between Amado Road and Baristo Road in Palm Springs, California. The Palm Springs Villagefest is held year-round every Thursday evening from 6 to 10 pm. From Amado Road to Baristo, Palm Canyon Drive is sealed off to the oncoming traffic and becomes a walker's paradise of fresh fruit stands, local restaurant samplings, live music and the best of Palm Spring's artists and craftsmen. The visitors come to the location for the fantastic deals that are reminiscent of a 1950's flea market and the locals come here to say "Hello" to each other and catch up on the week's news. A walking tour that takes place through this location ends at the VillageFest and allows tourists to take part in the locations attractions and activities.

The location of the festival and flea market is beautiful in landscape. The street is lined with palm trees that wrap around the list street lights that also line the road. A number of shops, restaurants, galleries, pubs and boutiques are found along Palm Canyon Drive which has become a hub for locals as well as tourists and visitors.
