During our stay in Indio, California we could not help but notice that a large event was being set up at the fairgrounds not far from our RV park. Then we started seeing advertisements on local television stations about it.
This is what the carnival atmosphere was all about:
The workers were setting up for The National Date Festival.
We did not attend, but it became obvious that is was a big deal in this area of California.
We saw lines of people buying admission tickets as well as plenty of excited children.
Growing dates here is big business and something worth celebrating.
