Riverside County Fair and Date Festival

Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival. Do not underestimate the size and scope of the Date Fest, founded in 1921 to celebrate the date harvest, with an Arabian Nights fantasy theme that endures to this day. World famous musical headliners (Cheap Trick, WAR) provide the musical backdrop to this many-headed hydra of a festival, where attractions include camel and ostrich races, monster trucks, and a circus. The fun happens in Indio, a hop skip and a jump from your Acme House Company vacation rental in Palm Springs or La Quinta.
