Support Locally Owned Businesses in Greater Palm Springs
Family owned. Locally sourced. Community treasured. These are the shops, restaurants, spas, attractions and businesses that make Greater Palm Springs. That paint our personality. Add to our “flavor.” And express our pride.
From decades-old eateries serving time-honored family recipes to the local coffee shop roasting their own beans to the yoga studio leading sun salutations on a downtown rooftop, their stories capture not only our destination’s unique set of experiences but also our hearts.
That’s why "Love local" is more than a call to action—it’s a movement that inspires residents and visitors to support our community of restaurateurs, shop keepers, artists and makers. To discover all the unique gems that set our destination apart, whether it’s a thrilling outdoor adventure, a culinary indulgence, a health and wellness escape or a discovery of the arts. To shop, dine, hike, play, gift and love local. Because to know them is to love them.
