Festival season is upon us in Southern California! With Coachella (April 14 – 23) and Stagecoach (April 28 – 30), desert life gets kicked up a notch—and it was already a blast to begin with. But this year, instead of camping/baking without air conditioning and living off supremely overpriced festival snacks, transform your festivities into a whole new experience. Rent a quaint villa or reserve a hip hotel room and treat your stomach and liver to all that Palm Springs has to offer. There’s a cool place to stay for every traveler’s style and budget. You just better score your perfect festival headquarters before someone else does. By: Jake Kilroy | Venue: The West Elm House

In stark contrast to the grey desert surrounding it, Palm Springs always shines with its lively and colorful flowers, cool mid-century architecture, and destination getaway vibe. It’s no surprise that the vibrant, celebratory nature of this desert oasis has become a primo destination for weddings in the past few years, and we can’t get enough of that undeniable Palm Springs style.  From private estates in the mountains to charming boutique hotels, from pool party central to peaceful Mediterranean digs, this little town has more wedding venue options than there are pool floatie styles. If a gorgeous California wedding is what you crave, take the tour of all the best wedding venues in Palm Springs with us. We have but one warning: don’t touch the cacti. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

Here are 12 ideas for fantastic Father’s Day adventures with "old Dad."
