The Cruise-In series, which started in October, will run through May with the final event of the season on Saturday, May 2. Cruise-In takes place in the northwest parking lot near Macy’s and Red Carpet Car Wash behind Westfield Palm Desert and is free for spectators to attend. There is a $5 entry fee to show your vehicles. There are food, drink and clothing vendors, as well as raffles and prizes given to the top cars. In addition there are special areas for kids with coloring, hula-hoop contests and more.

Along with the Cruise-In Series, the PSCA hosts the popular Dr. George Car Show in February. This year over 8,000 car lovers attended the annual event, which raised over $65,000 for Desert Cancer Foundation (DCF). In 12 years, PSCA has donated over $600,000 for DCF, which equates to almost $4 million in medical services.
