Watch Live Below (Scheduled to Start at Noon)

PALM DESERT, Calif. (KESQ) - One of the desert’s most fun and colorful events returns on Sunday, October 25, when scores of decorated carts, floats, and marching bands will head down world-famous El Paseo for the annual Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade.

The Golf Cart Parade steps off at Noon, following a flyover by the Palm Springs Air Museum. Creatively decorated golf carts and floats, local businesses, community organizations, marching and performance groups, classic cars and more will make their way along El Paseo.

Anthony Anderson, Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor, producer, television host, and philanthropist, will be the Grand Marshal.

While the parade itself starts at noon, activities start in the morning.

The Palm Desert Rotary will hold its popular annual Pancake Breakfast starting at 8 a.m. on the corner of El Paseo and San Luis Rey. Sponsor and vendor booths open at 9 a.m., and be sure to leave time to peruse the classic car show, too.

Other attractions include a Kid’s Play Zone, a section for our Super Seniors, food and drink vendors, awards and trophy presentations, and more.

Free seating can be found at multiple locations along the parade route. VIP seats ($30 each) and Senior Seating can be reserved in advance. For more information, please call the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce at 760-346-6111
