With around 30,000 properties with Mid-Century Modern architecture in the Greater Palm Springs area, there's no surprise that this oasis town is known unofficially as the Modernist capital of the world. 

To commemorate this rich history, Palm Springs celebrates Modernism Week, a festival that features over three hundred events, such as tours of the architecture in the town, golf tournaments, car shows and more. 

Starting next Thursday, February 17 and going until Sunday, February 27, this annual festival draws in crowds from all over the world interested in the history and architecture of this beautiful city.
