Just when you thought there was nothing going on this weekend, one look at what the communities of Palm Springs have going on and suddenly it’s hard to choose what to do. There are more than enough options for everyone—and if you’re considering purchasing equestrian homes in Rancho Mirage or are interested in Palm Desert real estate, you’ll soon see that it’s like this all year round.
On Saturday, February 9 the Tour de Palm Springs will take place! This amazing event raises money for nonprofit organizations in the Palm Springs Valley, while allowing participants to experience a bicycle ride on several different courses as they take in breathtaking mountain scenery and bond with fellow riders. The courses are wide-ranging, from a one mile route that is perfect for beginners and a five mile route that’s easy but includes small hills, to a 25 mile moderate ride with a few rolling hills, and 55 mile and 100 mile routes with many rolling hills and gradual climbs for the more advanced cyclist.
Also on Saturday is the Dr. George Car Show in Indian Wells. Celebrity judges assess the goods at this expo that features 1000 cars, music, food and other vendors. The event is sponsored by the Auto Club Southern California and suggested donation for entry is just $2.
On Saturday night, world-famous violinist and conductor Itzhak Perlman will enchant classical music fans with a special performance at the McCallum Theatre, a favorite of all residents and owners of Palm Desert real estate. Perlman will be accompanied by renowned pianist Rohan De Silva. The show starts at 8 pm.
On Sunday, February 10, the Palm Springs Half Marathon will wind through some of the most famous neighborhoods in Palm Springs. On Sunday evening at 7 pm, the McCallum Theatre will host one of the most famous operas of all time, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly. The show starts at 7 pm.
