The weekly Villagefest is one of Palm Springs' better-known events. Every Thursday evening Palm Canyon Drive between Amado and Baristo roads is given over to booths selling food, fresh produce and an array of handicrafts. The gathering, inaugurated by former mayor Sonny Bono, is as popular with visitors as it is with locals. For information phone (760) 320-3781.
