In Palm Springs and downtown area, this time is one of the popular weekends bustling with energy.
“We actually just got here a couple of hours ago,” says Ashley Wilson, a tourist from Arizona.
Ashley along with her husband are making the most of the three-day-weekend by exploring Palm Springs for the first time.
“‘I’m really into architecture so I wanted to come out and see all the mid century houses and basically just see what this are has to offer,” said Wilson.
However, her mind has more than just architecture.
“We’re gonna do the tram, we’re going to visit the art museum and hopefully do some shopping,” said Wilson.
The aerial tram, at one point, had a two-hour wait because of the large number of visitors.
Valerie Mar, owner of La Mar Boutique loves the foot traffic and can’t wait for them to show up again.
“Around the evening time it really picked up like all of a sudden you saw crowds of people coming in,” says the shop owner.
Interestingly, the long weekend isn’t just drawing the Americans.
“The atmosphere there from all the Americans around us at the pool parties is really awesome,” said Sara Wintle from London.
Wintle and her family flew fifteen hours to check out the valley’s gems. And since three days aren’t enough she’s coming back next year.
