Fall Modernism Week in Palm Springs

Modernism Week in PS began with a week in February and then expanded to two weeks and now they have a week or so in the Fall. It's been a great success  in bringing tourists from all over the world. One year we attended quite a few events and then we mainly went to the free events.  

It looks like it's going to be online this year and I imagine the February event will be online too. They seem to be charging normal prices and I wonder if that will work out for them. Of course, it's all the tourists who come and spend money that really help the PS businesses. That won't be happening and the Canadian snowbirds won't be coming either. Of course, we have a real soft spot for PS and the people there so really hope things get better for them soon. And the moment we can we'll be back to our winter paradise.

The Rancho Mirage Writers Festival has been postposed until January, 2022.  The tickets sell out immediately for this event (I believe they are around a thousand US although I think they may be less now due to a major donor).  They don't appear to be giving the option of refunds and the tickets will carry over.
