On Saturday, November 7, 2026 we will have an exciting soundtrack to dance, to flag, or just to watch. This free event will be at the Wellness Park (600 E Tachevah) in Palm Springs. There will be an instructional class preceding the event at 10:00 AM and the DJ started at 11:00. While the event was free we will collect for our local charity.
"Desert Flaggers' is the local organization that sponsors the event. They have a variety of events that are listed on their webpage at www.desertflaggers.com. These include classes, weekend flagging in various parks, social events, fundraisers, and flash mobs. They can be seen every Sunday as they open t-dance at OSCAR’S. The art of flagging is the spinning of flags rhythmically to music. Silk flags are usually dyed in vibrant, ultraviolet fluorescent colors, creating an almost hypnotic spectacle when spun rhythmically. They are made by adding curtain weights sewn onto the edges of two sides of the fabric to make it possible for flaggers to spin them through the air. Flags are as fun to watch as they are to spin! The basic moves are easy, fun, and visually stunning. Flow Flags are easy to pick up and soft on your body when you make mistakes. Come at 10:30 AM for our novice class and then enjoy the afternoon. Loaner flags are available.
