PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – Modernism Week is bringing midcentury modern architecture, vintage culture and new evening entertainment to the Coachella Valley for its fall lineup.
The schedule includes a 1970s disco-themed after-party at Spirit Animal and special dining experiences at restaurants including Bar Issi, Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge and King’s Highway.

Modernism Week is a nonprofit organization that helps support historic preservation and community improvement efforts throughout Palm Springs. According to Marketing Manager Bob Bogard, some neighborhood home tours raise between $30,000 and $40,000, with proceeds going toward preserving neighborhoods, civic improvements and donations to local nonprofits. Organizers say the events help protect the city’s architectural heritage while giving back to the community.
