Luces y eventos de Navidad en Palm Springs 2025

Ubicado en medio del desierto Sonoran del sur de California, Palm Springs todavía puede ofrecer un montón de espíritu navideño. Puedes lanzar bolas de nieve en la cima del monte San Jacinto y relajarte al sol junto a la piscina usando solo tu traje de baño en un solo día. Sin mencionar numerosos eventos de vacaciones, actividades divertidas y compras.

The Festival of Lights Parade takes place each year on the first Saturday in December, drawing to Palm Springs thousands of people. The crowd gathers to see wonderful marching bands, drum squads, drill teams, giant helium balloons, lighted floats, and equestrian units.

The parade route starts at Ramon Road and Palm Canyon Drive, continuing north on Palm Canyon to Tachevah Road, covering a distance of approximately 1.5 miles. Each parade entry takes about 30 to 40 minutes to complete the route. The event is free and open to the public.
