Started by the legendary Sonny Bono, Palm Springs' Villagefest is a year long festival of the Palm Springs area that takes place every Thursday night.
The highlights of this always friendly time include fresh fruit vendors, arts & crafts vendors and live music.
For a less lively but still entertaining time, consider doing as the locals- sitting down at a sidewalk cafe for people watching, as thousands of tourists mill through music and booths.
Those needing a break from the daily grind won't find a better setting than sunny Southern California and Palm Springs' Villagefest.
