What started out as three-day weekend salute to the midcentury modern homes and buildings in Palm Springs just eight years ago, Palm Springs Modernism Week is now spans 11 days and dozens of events.

From bus and walking tours of Palm Springs’ buildings to lectures and films, retro cocktail parties, pre-fad design house and expo, slide shows and the annual Palm Springs Art Museum’s Architecture and Design Council’s annual symposium, the week is an annual education on modernism.

Check Palm Springs Modernism Week website (modermismweek.com) to see which events are still available to attend. Here’s the schedule of events on a day-by-day calendar:
