When a little downtime would certainly go a long way toward helping you feel refreshed, an end-of-summer trip to sunny La Quinta, California, is always a great solution. Time enjoyed here in August is sure to be a treat for travelers who are looking to relax, savor the views, and make the most of attending fun local events in La Quinta too. The following are some of the experiences you simply won’t want to leave off your itinerary this year!
Head Over to the La Quinta Museum to Take a Break with Huell
August can be an especially warm time of year in La Quinta, and there’s no place better to beat the heat when temperatures are on the rise than the La Quinta Museum. Located at 77-885 Avenida Montezuma, the La Quinta Museum is an incredible place to browse exhibits and displays that dive deep into the region’s rich past. The museum is also proud to host the “Take a Break with Huell” experience for locals and visitors alike who drop by on the third Tuesday of every month. This year, the must experience event is scheduled to take place on August 19, 2025, and will run from 11:00 am until noon. Attending is an opportunity to travel alongside California travel documentarian Huell Howser through film as you screen a show from his iconic television program in good company. Each episode highlights the Golden State’s unique hidden gems, quirks, and stunning landmarks well worth taking time to learn more about when you’re in town. Whether you love history, California, or the best of both, this is an event meant to be added to your August lineup that includes a fun discussion time afterward.
Golf Your Way to an Unforgettable August Stay in La Quinta
If you’re looking forward to an August trip to La Quinta that includes some quality time on the greens, you’ll want to make sure your itinerary includes a stop at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in nearby Indio. Here, through the entire month of August, golfers can enjoy time on the Eagle Course, where architect Clive Clark has been invited to design a masterpiece that’s truly one-of-a-kind within the local desert landscape. The addition of unique water features and elevation changes to navigate is far from the design golfers have come to expect here over the years, making the game exceptionally exciting this summer. Get ready to enjoy 18 holes of challenging fun on a 6,715-yard par 72 course, which will inevitably be as scenic as it is thrilling.
Attend an Open Mic Night at Old Town Artisan Studios
If you’re someone who loves to perform or simply enjoys admiring great entertainment on the part of others, a trip to La Quinta this August might not feel entirely complete until you’ve attended an Open Mic Night at Old Town Artisan Studios. Hosted every third Monday of the month, this exciting event is well-attended by storytellers, artists, songwriters, comedians, and poets who are looking for a welcoming stage on which to showcase their talents. The Open Mic Night event runs from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm and is typically hosted in the open outdoor courtyard. It’s a chance for newcomers to gain confidence in their craft, and experienced performers to thrill an audience once again. This is a family-friendly experience in La Quinta that includes beverages available for purchase on-site and food trucks within easy reach of the show as well.
