While weekend two of the Coachella Music and Arts Annual Festival will be in full swing at the Empire Polo Club this weekend, there are still plenty of other things to do if you’re in town to relax or check out Palm Springs homes for sale. Below are just a few of the myriad activities to keep your occupied and entertained on this beautiful weekend in the desert.
On Thursday, April 17 from 6 to 8 pm, the University of California, Riverside Palm Desert will host the Palm Desert Art Documentary Series 2013-2014: Stolen. The film tells the powerful story of how on St. Patrick’s Day in 1990, thieves disguised as police pulled off the largest art heist in modern history at the Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the co-founder of the FBI Art Crime Team, Lynne Richardson.
On Thursday and Friday from 7 to 9 pm, Saturday the 19th from 2 to 4 pm, the McCallum Theatre—a must-see for those looking at Palm Springs homes for sale—will feature the 16th Annual Open Call Talent Competition, where the Coachella Valley’s best performers of all ages perform in an exciting and colorful talent competition that is always a sold out event. Winners will be chosen at the dynamic final performances on Saturday.
On Saturday from 5 to 10 pm the Desert Willow Golf Resort will host Classic Cars Under the Stars, an auto/motorcycle show with live music and great dining. To round out the diverse slate of events, the Joshua Tree National Park Visitors Center will feature Free Entrance Days to National Parks on both Saturday and Sunday. It’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sights of this amazing park that is a must-see for anyone visiting or living in the Palm Springs Valley.
