It’s game time in Palm Springs! Get ready to cheer on one of the best high school football teams in the Coachella Valley at the annual Palm Springs High School Homecoming Parade on Wednesday, Oct. 12 in downtown.

The 3:30 p.m. parade will kick off at Baristo Road and head north along Palm Canyon Drive and conclude at Alejo Road. This year’s Grand Marshal is Palm Springs High School teacher and head football coach Dan Murphy, who is retiring after 26 years of teaching and 25 years of coaching football. The parade theme is “Mardi Gras.”

In addition, this year’s parade features members of the Palm Springs City Council, the Board of Palm Springs Unified School District, along with the much loved Palm Springs High School Marching Band “Spirit of the Sands” – and of course, the school’s legendary tough as nails football team, the champion Palm Springs High School Indians
