Palm Springs, California, is a beloved sun-soaked vacation destination on the map that never fails to impress guests who travel here from near and far. While a trip this way in any season is a treat, you’ll find that your time in Palm Springs in August is an opportunity to fill your itinerary with even more added fun and entertainment. The following are just a few of the top events to not miss out on this August when travel plans bring you this way for an end-of-summer adventure to Southern California.
Try some Gentle Yoga During Your Visit
If you’re looking to infuse some much-needed tranquility into your August getaway to Palm Springs, the team at Khaga Yoga Palm Springs has you covered. Each Friday and Saturday throughout the month, they’re offering a gentle yoga session for just $30 per person led by instructor Angela Davis. The focus will be firmly on the breath as you stretch, find your center, and slow things down to nurture the body and mind alike. The class includes traditional Hatha Yoga sequences as well as strengthening flows that are modified to suit yogis of all skill levels. The studio is located at 477 S. Palm Canyon Drive, and classes are held from 10:30 am until 11:30 am.
Check Out the Local Certified Farmers Market
Throughout the month of August, there are opportunities to give back to the city of Palm Springs by shopping local at the Certified Farmers Market while you’re here. Head over to the Palm Springs Pavilion at 401 S Pavilion Way between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm to enjoy the experience for yourself. The Certified Farmers Market in Palm Springs has earned the title as the longest-running of its kind in the Coachella Valley, and it’s a one-stop hub for purchasing local produce, crafts, and more. There’s live music to enjoy when you drop by, and new vendors every week, making it a new experience each time you return. This is a rain or shine event with something for everyone in your group to enjoy, so make sure you drop by when you’re in town this August.
Put Your Skills on Display at Karaoke
Each Thursday in August, those visitors to Palm Springs who can’t wait to put their vocal talent on display can do so from 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm at El Jefe Desert Cantina. This is when Karaoke gets underway, and the event is open to experienced performers and amateurs alike. When you’re here, you can easily pair a handcrafted cocktail with a great show, and count on a lively and supportive crowd to match. The final karaoke night of the month is on the 28 so make sure you make time for this fun experience while you’re in town.
Attend Splash House
For two weekends in August, music enthusiasts will gather together for a one-of-a-kind party in Palm Springs, fondly referred to as Splash House. This year, the events are scheduled to run from August 8 through August 10 as well as August 15 through August 17, 2025. The Renaissance, The Saguaro, and The Riviera will be hosting this multi-weekend electronic music festival, which always includes great food, drinks, and pool party fun too. The festival first kicked off in 2013, and in 2025, continues to be an event that’s destined to draw travelers in droves to Palm Springs in the name of music and cultural fun.
Explore, Learn, and Cool Off at the Museum
The Palm Springs Art Museum is offering free admission every Thursday in August from 5pm to 8pm. It’s a great way to cool off in the hot summers and experience gorgeous art displays.
