Splash House Festival

Splash House Expands to Three Weekends

/in /by

Since 2013, Splash House has established itself as one of the country’s most sought-after festivals, fusing forward-thinking electronic music, poolside partying, and resort amenities alongside the desert landscapes of Palm Springs. Splash House’s community and influence has grown wildly over the years, yet has retained the intimate magic of its debut weekender all those years ago. In turn, Splash House will be hosting its first triple weekend season in 2022, touching down June 10-12, August 12-14, and August 19-21.

Spread across three resort venues all with their own unique feel, fans are transported to multiple eras of Palm Springs aesthetic history just within the festival’s footprint. There’s the mid-century stage facade and billowing banners of The Saguaro, the poolside tiki jungle and A-frame of Margaritaville, and the breezeblock architecture and sprawling shade of the Renaissance.

With things on the way back to the norm with raves and music festivals, you can bet that more and more people in the community are wondering how they will ever be able to cope with their social anxiety. The generation that loves to attend raves and music festivals is also the generation that suffers the most from anxiety.
