Palm Springs' Thursday night street fair an actual authentic experience

If you’re in Palm Springs, enjoying the golf and monotonously wonderful 70 degree and sunny days, make sure to check out the weekly Thursday night street fair in downtown. In an area where a black and white photo of Frank Sinatra or Bob Hope passes as high culture, the street fair boasts actual local character. They close the main drag in town to cars, set up booths in the middle of the street (think cheap good food and trinkets) and people stroll around. Yes, sometimes people do actually walk in California. If you’ve always stayed out in La Quinta on your Coachella Valley golf trip, you may not even know that Palm Springs has a downtown. A walkable one filled with restaurants, interesting shops and a share of the requisite tourist traps. Thursday night’s the night to go however. Friday and Saturday could be dead, while Thursday is hopping. Comments:
What kind of cheap food and trinkets? Are trinkets also considered high culture in Palm Springs? What is the local character of which you speak?
If people in SoCal don't walk, do they attribute this malaise to a seasonal urge, a legal prohibition, or some other source? Give us more on the pedantically-challenged desert dwellers of the region.

My family and I from New Jersey visited the Street Fair Dec. 29th We enjoy the fair very much good local venders,and the food was excellent. My kids had a blast. To bad such a thing couldn't take place in NJ weekly. (to cold) Hope to visit Palm Springs again soon.
