South Palm Canyon Drive transforms into an open-air market every Thursday evening during Village Fest, a weekly street fair in downtown Palm Springs. Vendors set up stalls selling everything from arts and crafts to local produce. If you get hungry, you'll also find plenty of local food vendors offering the likes of juicy tri-tip sandwiches, freshly steamed tamales and stir-fried noodle bowls. While you'll have to pay for the grub, you don't have to pay to stroll through the market, browse local goods or people-watch – admission is completely free. You'll also find entertainment like musicians, local youth choirs and orchestras, and a popular artist who creates intricate artwork using only spray paint.
