If you are an art lover, I think you're going to want to come for this upcoming event in Joshua Tree. Joshua Tree, in case you didn't know, is in the high desert and is only a 45 minute drive from Palm Springs. The even is called HWY 62 ART Tours. the event consists of over 226 artists across 141 studios over three October weekends. Attendees get a map and drive from home studio to retail location to commercial lofts and other venues where artists show their art and offer food, drink, entertainment and more. I've been to the event and it is spectacular. You drive all around the high desert cities of Joshua Tree, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley. And the event doesn't end at night. Art Tours after dark will happen and highlight performances from local community musicians. If you're looking for something more than horror movies and costume contests this October, stay in a Dry Heat Resorts luxury rental and drive up the hill to the HWY 62 Art Tours.
Explore the Hwy 62 Open Studio Art Tours, showcasing 226 local artists and 140 studios in Joshua Tree. Discover art, meet artists, and enjoy Hi-Desert experiences.
