Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival
The Wildflower Festival is a unique one day event held on the
grounds of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
National Monument Visitor Center. Bring your family and
friends for a free day of fun on Saturday, March 1, 2014, from 9 am to 4 pm for
the annual Coachella Valley Wildflower Festival. Welcome spring and wildflowers
to the valley while you enjoy food, fun and education for the entire family.
For one wonderful Saturday, you can look for
desert wildflowers on one of the guided hikes or walks offered by our dynamic
volunteers on the trails near the Visitor Center, visit our extremely popular
Kids’ Zone with arts and crafts for the children, and see local artists
demonstrate their crafts and sell their wares. Animals from the Living Desert
make appearances throughout the day. Specialty workshops are offered at various
times and you can also learn about conservation and education activities at
booths hosted by our partners including the Living Desert, California Native
Plant Society, Big Bear Discovery Center, US Forest Service, and the Bureau of
Land Management. Beer and wine are available for those with proper ID. And
there’s music too!
Happily, this event is free to the public, a
wonderful way in which Friends of the Desert Mountains and their various
partners and sponsors can help share in the beauty and wonder of our home.
