Although the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a scenic tour through Joshua Tree National Park, or a trip to the Air Museum might be the main attraction during your trip to Palm Springs any other time of year, the highlight of any October visit, without question, is Palm Springs Modernism Week.
A celebration of epic proportions, Palm Springs Modernism Week highlights the enduring popularity of mid-century modern architecture. The design aesthetic, characterized by simplicity, form, and functionality, remains as popular today as it was when A-listers like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe coveted these urban masterpieces in the Palm Springs desert oasis. Incorporating fresh perspectives and materials and crafted with a minimalist approach by visionary architects of the era, each home embodied the essence of contemporary living.
