College of the Desert campus in Palm Desert, home of the Street Fair

College of the Desert Street Fair

The Street Fair at College of the Desert has been a Palm Desert weekend tradition for more than 40 years. It’s a big open air market with local makers, farmers and vendors, all set against mountain views.

You’ll find handmade jewelry, art, clothing, home goods, fresh produce, flowers and plenty of snacks. It’s a fun, easy morning outing and a great place to pick up gifts.
