It’s Too Damn Hot: July Events In Palm Springs

“If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?” — Steven Wright The heat is on. Just walking to your car is like doing hot yoga without doing the yoga. But honestly? It’s still paradise.

Born on the 4th of July

Back when the Spanish first came upon the land now known as Palm Springs in the 1770s, they called it La Palma de la Mano de Dios, which means “the palm of God’s hand.” They didn’t stick around though; they were looking for a passage north. So, the Cahuilla kept on keeping on until the […]
