Canada Fest returns on Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Hotel in Indian Wells. This festive celebration and resource expo brings together local and Canadian businesses as vendors, entertainment, services, seminars and demonstrations for two fun-filled days.

Thousands attended last year’s event and producer Bette King listened to their requests: move the event down valley, hold it later in the season when everyone is here, and offer more Canadian food. Thus, the mid-season event in Indian Wells is sure to be bigger and better than before! The Esmeralda’s Executive Chef and his team will be offering a tasty and nostalgic array of Canadian foods and beverages, and Tim Horton Coffee will be brewing. Entertainment will be intimate and will include performers from both Canada and the US.

The Palm Springs Pipe Band, a deserving organization comprised of Canadian, Scottish, and American pipers, will be honored at this year’s Canada Fest with a special presentation by the Canadian Consulate. Another addition is the inclusion of Financial Fest, a 20-year veteran event that has toured the U.S., offering over 20 exhibitor booths and informative seminars from top investment speakers. Other exhibiting categories include health, beauty and auto with test drives of Tesla electric sports cars and displays by the valley’s own Exotic Motor Cars.

“We are working to become the ‘Best of the Best’ resource fair here in the Desert,” says King who developed the event to honor the many Canadians and snowbirds who support our Desert economy.
