Preps Underway for Annual Golf Cart Parade

This year's theme: "American Pride"

One of the desert's most anticipated events is coming up fast -  the 48th annual Golf Cart Parade in Palm Desert.

Arguably the most unique and colorful event in the valley returns on Sunday, October 28th at 1:00 p.m as decorated golf carts, floats and marching bands move along El Paseo.

The largest parade of its kind, the Golf Cart Parade with this year's theme of "American Pride", also features "food booths, children's games and activities, celebrities, dignitaries and more," according to City of Palm Desert spokesman David Hermann.
