The 4th of July our celebration of Independence Day is also our hottest month of the year in the Southern California Desert. The month of July is also our driest month as well.

 

This year the Forth of July celebration and firework shows are held on a Saturday night.

 

Labor Day September 7th celebrating a day of rest for hard working Americans and always the first Monday in September is an official holiday and that makes this a three day weekend.

 

Parades are also a very large part of celebrating Labor Day.

What is great as Logic has talked about the visits into the Coachella Valley before moving here in 1999 is that the Forth of July celebrations are held in I think 7 of our 9 cities and you can see firework displays across the valley held by each city.

 

Cities that allow you to buy fireworks to light off on your own are Cathedral City, Coachella and Indio for sure, not sure of other valley cities, of course Palm Springs and Palm Desert do not allow or sale personal firework displays however they do have city shows at the areas main park.

 

Palm Springs has their show at the stadium at Sunrise Park the cities main park.

When planning a trip into the Coachella Valley for an overnight stay or longer for one of our up and coming summer holiday weekends remember these differences in the two holidays.

 

Look at the 4th of July it is on a Saturday this year so you are covered as it is a weekend. Labor Day is always on a Monday.

 

Hotel Room rates are at their lowest in June, July, August and up to the end of September excluding Labor Day weekend most room rates increase again for the Labor Day weekend.

 

Look at the weather for the 4th of July it is the Coachella Valleys driest month the humidity will be below 10% most of the month we refer to this as a dry heat.

 

Labor Day weekend the temperatures are lower but the humidity is higher as well Labor Day falls on the first Monday in September and our annual monsoon rains come historically in the last 2 weeks of August and the first 2 weeks in September. 

 

July is our hottest month for Palm Springs, Indio, Palm Desert and our other 6 valley cities. Being the hottest day of the year with day time temperatures running between 105 to 121 degrees during the day and near 100 degrees during the entire evening.

 

See our monthly highs and lows for the Coachella Valley as our desert weather site is a great place to get an insight into the degree of temperature changes the California Desert offers.

The first of the two major holiday weekends held during summer each year is coming nearer.

 

Forth of July in the Coachella Valley is in less then 10 days it is on a Saturday meaning this will be a very busy time here in our valley.

 

The Forth of July Celebration is all about barbecues, friends and firework displays and it is a great time for celebration in America, it is our Independence Day.

 

The Coachella Valley Firework shows are in the evenings nearer 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM and you are assured a great time if you happen to be in the valley during the Forth of July Weekend.

Beyond hotel room rate discounts in the Coachella Valley we are seeing the high-end restaurants reducing their menu prices to make this summer a little easier.

 

Logic a customer of some of these restaurants for many, many years can share with you that not once, not ever, have we seen these kinds of aggressive price reductions for the greater Palm Springs area restaurants.

 

Visiting these restaurants in some cases and in others cases just doing a drive by shows that even though there were lower priced items on the menus on 2007 and 2008 these prices are lower and more aggressive yet but the ironic thing is there is still not a whole lot of interest in the offerings.

 

Look around as I am sure you do and you will see everything is coming down in price from houses to cars to clothes to furniture even food at the grocery store but too little if any great volume of items are selling in the high volume required to make it on lowering the prices of what might becoming just STUFF.

 

STUFF is what Logic is callig the effect of discounting in every window does to a humna when they see it all day everywhere they look or arive causing a norm effect that makes these reductions become STUFF.

 

Like many businesses Logic does not think these are the best times to be entering the restaurant or any non technical business in America.

With the Coachella Valley resorts reducing your hotel room rates during the see summer months restaurants lowering or offering special pricing for there dinners there is yet another discount taking effect and it is for two of the Palm Springs areas major attractions.

 

Both of these attractions have a way to keep you cool in the summer and both are great fun for the whole family.

 

Ok, ok you know that the local hotel room rates are lowered for summer and that they are even discounting those rates, so ask when booking and you heard it here on the Desert Forum that restaurants are running discounted menu prices on selected items in some cases all items to get guest in to these restaurants even some restaurants that Logic has known for more then 2 decades are discounting the discounts more in the high-end restaurants, if you can really call a restaurant in Palm Springs High-End?

 

Anyways there is one more pair of discounts awaiting your arrival into the Coachella Valley and both are right in Palm Springs.

 

 

 

When you call a Palm Springs Hotel Resort ask the person on the other end of the telephone if they have the discount tickets to Knott's Soak City and ask them if they sell tickets to the Palm Springs Aerial Tram if they do you are going to save money prices at hotel might vary but you can ask.

 

If you book online then take down the phone number and call the local Palm Springs Hotel yourself there are better discounts then online and you can only get the local attraction discount coupons and tickets directly form the resort operator you are staying with, this is worth the call friends.

Labor Day weekend soon to arrive actually you would need to book now to assure a room in the Coachella Valley.

 

Though tourism is down 13% from last year to this year the weekends are not showing this and when there is to be a 3 day weekend that makes rooms get booked even sooner.

 

The back to school for parents will in most US cities be completed and it is time to celebrate by enjoying a nice family 3 day weekend together in the Coachella Valley.
