Fashion, Food and Fun Showcase 14th Annual Desert Woman’s Show

One of our valley’s favorite events, the Desert Woman’s Show celebrates its 14th anniversary on Saturday, February 19, at the Classic Club in Palm Desert. While the location has changed, the promise of an engaging “girl’s day out” remains the same.

Shows will feature fashions from favorites like Gaby L.

Presented by Desert Vein & Vascular Institute, the festive event offers plenty of shopping from local fashion boutiques, two fashion shows, medical and wellness experts, an eye-opening panel discussion: All About Cannabis presented by The Lighthouse Dispensary, live entertainment and the ever-popular Greater Palm Springs Food & Wine.
