Enjoy food, watch a digital dance festival, or go on a scavenger hunt during March 2021.
ENJOY DESERT DINING.
Pack a picnic basket, lace up your walking shoes, and strike out on the Cove Oasis Trail in La Quinta. Mostly flat and covered in gravel, the trail offers a family- and pup-friendly stroll to its namesake oasis, where you’ll find flourishing date palms and shaded tables perfect for an outdoor lunch.
TOUR A DIGITAL ART EXHIBIT.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide racial justice movements, La Quinta Museum invited about 40 local artists and writers to share pieces exploring anxiety, pain, connection, and hope. Click through the gallery of comforting and galvanizing work on the Uncertain Times exhibition website and see artist statements and poem videos on the museum’s YouTube channel.
WATCH A DIGITAL DANCE FESTIVAL.
The annual Palm Springs International Dance Festival waltzes onto the web this year, offering an exhibition of movement-inspired artworks across genres, including sculpture, photography, and film. Catch stunning choreographed routines and engage with the fest’s online installations March 11–14.
BECOME A CLIMBER.
Even if you’ve only used a carabiner as a keychain, there’s a place for you in She Moves Mountains’ March 20 intro to rock climbing clinic in Joshua Tree National Park. The business empowers and instructs women interested in adventure sports to decrease the gender disparity in rock climbing and guiding.
ADOPT A FURRY FRIEND.
During the pandemic, make an appointment at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter to add a dog, cat, or other critter to your family. If you’re unable to welcome a new member to your household, there’s plenty of other ways to support the shelter, including volunteering, fostering, and donating.
