The following are a few to make sure to add to your itinerary this year.
Attend VillageFest Every Thursday in Palm Springs
A terrific event to check out for yourself this July in Palm Springs is the VillageFest gathering, hosted every Thursday evening. July 2025 will see VillageFest in full swing on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st from 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm right in the heart of downtown. Head over to Palm Canyon Drive and enjoy time browsing this pedestrian-only marketplace that typically features over 180 vendors on-site. You’ll enjoy shopping for everything from gourmet treats and jewelry to artisanal goods, and much more. Live musical performances at VillageFest set a vibrant scene while the food and drinks on-site are equally inspiring. VillageFest is a pet-friendly event in Palm Springs, so if you’re traveling this way in July with your favorite canine companion in tow, they’re more than welcome to accompany you. If you’re in town for the event on the 3rd, there’s a good chance there will be extra 4th of July-themed activities built into the weekly lineup to look forward to.
Experience Exciting 4th of July Celebrations
Independence Day is celebrated with plenty of high-energy fun included in Palm Springs each year, much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. For many revelers, the entertainment gets underway at the Power Baseball event, where all-star collegiate athletes show off their skills on the field around 6:00 pm. Of course, July in Palm Springs is often defined by some pretty intense temperatures, so there’s a good chance you’ll be looking for opportunities to cool off in the afternoon. That’s when you’ll want to head over to Sunrise Park and make the most of the annual 4th of July Pool Party from 3:00 pm until 9:00 pm. If you linger for the entirety of the event, you can enjoy the dazzling fireworks display overhead from your refreshing place in the water when the sun goes down. That said, another terrific place to enjoy fireworks in Palm Springs is the performance stage at Sunrise Park. Here, a free concert gets underway around 7:00 pm, providing great entertainment before the fireworks kick off at dusk. All of these events are family-friendly and great experiences for travelers of all ages to enjoy in Palm Springs this July.
