Have you made it out to the exciting BNP Paribas Open yet? If not, there are plenty of things to do in the next few days. There’s no better way to spend a day off from work, school or viewing equestrian homes and Indian Wells properties.
On Friday, March 8, the City of Indian Wells presents its Salute to Heroes Night following the first match of the evening. This annual ceremony, which is a favorite among fans, recognizes and honors veterans, military personnel, police and firemen. What makes this event even more unique and special this year is that the celebration coincides with the World War II Mobile Education Center exhibit. This innovative mobile exhibit, which will be open from 11 am to 7 pm, houses an authentic, meticulously preserved collection of original World War II memorabilia that includes weapons, American propaganda, uniforms, a restored 1941 Bantam Jeep and technological equipment of the era.
This awesome event is something that residents and owners of Indian Wells properties can be proud to be a part of, as it’s presented by their great city. The evening ceremony on Friday includes a performance by the Palm Springs High School Spirit of the Sands Marching Band, who had the distinct honor of performing at the 57th Inaugural Parade in Washington D.C. All veterans and current military, police and fire personnel receive two complimentary tickets for the evening session with proper ID.
The Salute to Heroes and the BNP Paribas Open are a perfect example of the wide-ranging cultural and recreation activities that Palm Springs Valley offers to residents and visitors alike. If you or your family are looking at equestrian homes or other luxury properties in the area, these are the kind of unique, world class activities you can count on having access to every year.
