Downtown stores welcome festival business

This year’s second Splash House music festival in downtown Palm Springs brought thousands of tourists and much needed business to stores.

This weekend restaurants and shops saw a spike in tourist traffic from the music event. Streets were busier than normal as well as businesses which benefited from tourists during a typically slow summer season.

Visitors came from across the country to attend the event. Guests said the hotels and pools were packed for the event.

Splash House hosted a variety of DJs at three different hotel venues. The concert continues until Sunday night.
