This one is a must see for me! I'm a big fan of classic cars and
could be around them all day. AJV West is just about 6 miles away
from the La Quinta Resort and Club where the concours will be taking
place this year after moving from Palm Springs.

Julie and I went to the 2009 and 2010 editions and had a great time.
Each year just seems to get better. It's a great events that attracts
the top players in the game. Both years I was lucky enough to see
matches with Nadal, Federer, Blake, and more. Who knows what this
year's event holds for you tennis fans out there.

La Quinta Arts Festival
March 10-13, 2011
This festival, the 29th annual, coincides with the BNP Paribas Open
and when you're not taking in the action of the tennis matches why
not take a trip over to see and possibly buy some art. Julie and I
have found many items over the years at various arts festivals and
enjoy going to every one.
For more information visit
the La Quinta Arts Festival website.

Indian Wells Arts Festival
April 2011 (Dates TBA)

The Indian Wells Tennis Garden is also the site of the Indian Wells
Arts Festival. Art is a big thing in the desert and it's one of my
favorite pastimes when I'm in the area. There are quite a few
galleries in the area that I make sure to visit. There are several
very good galleries on El Paseo in Palm
Desert but festivals like this is a place to enjoy even more art than
usual.
For more information go to
the Indian Wells Arts Festival website.
