I’ve taken care of the hard part and compiled a bi-weekly list of events happening around Greater Palm Springs from March 2 through March 15, 2026, so you can plan ahead and make the most of what’s happening locally.

Black History Paint Night hosted by the City of Palm Springs Parks & Recreation turned into an unexpected evening of creativity, culture, and community, inspired by the vibrant work of Alma Thomas.
