Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade

If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly event, then the Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade is the place to be!

Since the early 1960s, this festive parade has been a favorite around town. And while it once had a “Christmas in July” theme, the Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade is now an annual – and highly anticipated – late October event.

Bring the whole family out to enjoy lavishly decorated golf carts.

With a full list of activities planned for the day, including the Palm Desert Rotary Pancake Breakfast, face painting, clown entertainment, the Golf Cart Car Show and an awards ceremony, families can experience an entire day of festive fun for everyone.

Attending the Event

The event starts on Sunday, October 23 at 1:00 p.m., and the parade route will follow El Paseo, westbound, from San Luis Rey to Ocotillo. Finding a place to park won't be a problem since there are several parking lots and a parking structure in the area. You can find a detailed list of parking locations on the Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade website, along with applications to enter your golf cart in the parade or set up a vendor booth at the event.

We hope to see you there!
