Given the incredible rainstorm and road closures and generally bad weather in PS this winter, I was wondering if Modernism Week was badly affected. It doesn't seem so and so glad for all the businesses that depend on this festival.
From Palm Springs Life today:
Modernism Week 2019 has broken attendance records again, attracting an estimated 152,000 attendees or an increase of 20 percent over 2018.
Attendees participated in more than 375 events throughout the festival. Celebrating midcentury modern design, architecture, art, and culture in Palm Springs, the 11-day festival generated an estimated economic impact of $57 million for area hotels, shops, restaurants, and other local businesses from Palm Springs to Indian Wells and beyond. In addition, CAMP, Modernism Week’s ‘Community and Meeting Place’ and headquarters for tours and events, experienced more than 38,000 visitors throughout the festival, a 20 percent increase from the year before.
