Palm Springs VillageFest could return this summer
VillageFest could be making a comeback in downtown Palm Springs this summer. The Thursday night street fair has been closed since the pandemic began in March 2020.
“There is huge support for bringing it back,” said Joy Meredith, a business owner and merchant liaison for VillageFest Palm Springs.
The Thursday night street fair in downtown Palm Springs has been a staple event for almost 30 years, but it’s been shut down since the start of the pandemic.
“For some of these businesses, the vendors that are out there, this was their only show that they did and they made their living on it, so to have it shut down for over a year was very devastating,” Meredith said.
On Sunday, nearly 300 people plan to gather at Oscar’s Café and Bar in downtown Palm Springs for a “fully-vaccinated” afternoon of dancing and drinking, according to owner Dan Gore. The event which will require prior proof of COVID-19 vaccination, identification and a signed HIPPA waiver to attend illustrates one potential “new normal” standard for safe partying.
“We photocopied everything,” Gore said. “In the event that someone needs to see proof, we will be able to access it on the fly.”
Participants will be required to wear masks at all times except when seated at a table, according to Gore, who noted that there was no indoor seating at Oscar’s. Gore said he employed an attorney to help ensure that everything about the event was in full compliance with current Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and local regulations regarding COVID safety.
