Each year the Palm Desert California Desert sponsors their annual Golf Cart Parade.
This year’s theme is “Carnival Style” for a fun circus along the shops onEl Paseo.
Experience the spectacular color, pageantry and fun as scores of whimsically decorated golf carts and bands march down Palm Desert’s famous shop-’til-you-dropEl Paseo, in the first major event of the season.
Here’s a little History on this now famous parade:
The World Famous Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade originated in the early 60s, put together by several individuals who just wanted to have fun. Production was “iffy” depending upon whether a chairman could be found for that year or not. The parade wasn’t an every year event until 1983.
In the early days, it was “Christmas in July” for the benefit of local residents who found the summers boring. TheFireCliffLodgeserved up turkey dinners and the carts were all decorated for Christmas.
Now of course, the parade is in October, with over 10,000 spectators.
And believe it or not, organizers field questions about the parade from media around the world! Recent requests for information have come from the Philippines, France, Germany and Japan.
