We never thought to travel to Palm Springs for Modernism Week for the seventh time (since 2013) in 2020. As every year we’re so excited and can’t wait to come back to the valley for one of the best events of the year worldwide. Yes, Modernism Week became a “must attend” for us for many reasons. It’s the atmosphere, the landscape, the spirit of the area, great people, architecture and so much more to feel, see, do and experience which makes us take the long way out of Europe!
Since we have already participated in many guided tours and open house tours, we have been more interested in lectures and exhibitions in recent years.
It would be great to meet you at one of our this year’s scheduled events:

For us Europeans it is always very interesting to see that midcentury-modern architecture still has a positive influence on many areas, often without realizing it.
So hurry up, tickets for great events and tours are still available!
Obviously we’ll stay at our friends house Casa de Monte Vista in Old Las Palmas, one of the best areas to enjoy Palm Springs to the fullest!
See you in Palm Springs!
