The Annual Date Festival is Opening This Morning
February 15, 2013
At 9:30 a.m. today, the Date Festival will open with the Blessing of the Dates . Prayers will be given for date palms, workers and equipment used to pick the dates. From a festival begun to celebrate the harvesting of the dates to a ten day musical and county fair event, the Date Festival has grown to include major live musical performances and unique events. The camel and ostrich races are certainly worth a trip to the Riverside County Fair Grounds. 82-503 Highway 111 in Indio. The Indio area is the major date producing area in the entire western hemisphere and this festival is worth packing up the family and attending on one of the ten days that it is taking place. The days are from today, February 15 though February 24. Admission is $9, $8 for Seniors 55 and older; $7 for ages 6-12. Parking is $7.
