Desert Golf Cart Parade

145 Words1 Page

The World Famous Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade originated in the early 60s, put together by several individuals who just wanted to have fun. Production was “iffy” depending upon whether a chairman could be found for that year or not. The parade wasn’t an every year event until 1983.

In the early days, it was “Christmas in July” for the benefit of local residents who found the summers boring. The FireCliff Lodge served up turkey dinners and the carts were all decorated for Christmas.

Now, of course, the parade is in October with 15,000 to 30,000 spectators lining El Paseo.

And believe it or not, organizers field questions about the parade from media around the world! Recent requests for information have come from the Philippines, France, Germany

    Inside of Louisiana was New Orleans, an ethnically and politically divided city that had been the port city. Politics are quite involved in the festivities with the government wanting a say angering the participants furthering the festiveness in the celebration. Often this involvement leads to floats in the parade mocking political parties’ actions, such as the float Ray’s Body Guard, which portrays the State House Law in a hurt state, using crutches (Mitchell 79). This float allows participants to express their lack of faith in this element of government by portraying the government as being broken. In 1875, all of the Krewes withdrew from the parade that would soon be happening.
