Wildflower Festival Coming To Palm Desert

The following is a news release from Friends of the Desert Mountains:

PALM DESERT, CA — Friends of the Desert Mountains' 18th annual Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival springs forth once more Saturday, March 2, 2024, in Palm Desert’s Civic Center Park.

This day-long FREE community event is a colorful mix of shopping, dining, dancing plus an entire KIDS ZONE of crafts, activities and art.

In partnership with the City of Palm Desert, this year we invite the public to help create a one-day-only 40-foot-long mountain sculpture covered in a “HUMAN SUPERBLOOM” of paper flowers you can make at the festival – or bring print-outs of your own to highlight our desert blooms. Sure to be an amazing photo op!

Expect live music, lively crowds, local-made products from Valley residents, and a delicious array of food and beverages including “America’s #1 Sandwich Shop” TKB from Indio.

Our wildly popular Inspired By Nature: Youth Art Contest returns with 1,000 participants. And you bet we’ll have folks there to share all the wildflower info you can handle.
