Street Fair at The College of The Desert!



If you happen to be in the Palm Springs area on the weekend, the College of the Desert Street Fair in Palm Desert is a must see!  It's held every Saturday and Sunday from 7am - 2pm.





Coming thru Cathedral City on our way to the Street Fair.....



"I Did it Myyyyyyyyyyyy Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy"




Be prepared for total mayhem, as probably thousands of locals and tourists come out for the Fair! The intersection of College of the Desert and Fred Waring Way...turn to the right!



Free parking....if you're in a small car, you'll have a much easier time than we did to find a parking spot!



This Street Fair is so big, they have shuttles taking people from the parking areas over to the Fair itself!


There are hundreds and hundreds of  vendors there....offering everything from Tshirts and socks, to fresh fruit and veggies to beautiful clothes, jewellry and incredible patio furniture!



I remembered this stall from when we were here in 2006! And the hunt was on to find it again last weekend, as we were quite desperate for Good Fresh Veggies and Fruit!


My haul for a total of $40.....$20 for fresh asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes, lettuce plus blueberries, mushrooms, 9 heads of garlic (!) and 3 baskets of absolutely to die for delicious strawberries!

Oh...and another $20 that I couldn't resist spending on Egyptian Cotton bedsheets.

An awesome morning spent wandering the aisles...the weather was nice and hot!
