“There is nothing to do on Friday evening in Palm Springs if you don’t want to go to a bar or go dinner in a restaurant,” said Jordan. “In this way, you can come and have a cocktail, see a film, watch live music, spend time with the family.”
Located in the cultural center parking lot, a variety of food trucks and sellers will be installed. Entrance to gourmet Fridays is free, and Jordan said that sellers’ prices vary between $ 9 and $ 15.
An outdoor bar will also be installed so that cocktails and other libations can be appreciated. Heating tables and lamps will be available to provide a more comfortable atmosphere.
Fridays are also aimed at families, with activities available for the youngest of residents.
According to the participation rate, Jordan said that gourmet Fridays can also integrate thematic markets to support food sellers. In work, a vinyl disc market.
