Modernism Week 2027 in Palm Springs: February dates, home tours and when tickets open
Modernism Week runs in Palm Springs from February 11 to 21, 2027: eleven days of mid-century home tours, bus and walking tours, films, talks and parties. Tickets open on November 1, 2026 at noon, after a schedule preview on October 25, and the signature home tours sell out within hours.

- Venue: Palm Springs, Palm Springs
- Organised by: Modernism Week (a non-profit organisation)
- Admission: Ticketed

Put November 1 in the calendar: buy the tours you want the minute they open, then book the room. Base in Palm Springs itself, ideally in the Uptown Design District or near downtown, because the tours start early and end late.

The event
Modernism Week is the desert's celebration of mid-century modern architecture and design: tours inside private homes, double-decker bus and walking tours of the neighborhoods, films, presentations and evening events. The February 2027 edition runs from Thursday, February 11 to Sunday, February 21.
The organiser is a non-profit; the same organisation runs a smaller October edition each year.
Tickets and timing
The schedule preview is posted on October 25, 2026 and tickets go on sale on November 1, 2026 at noon Pacific. The house tours and the signature evenings sell out first; the bus tours and the lecture programme are easier to book later.
February is the desert's high season with or without the festival, so the room should follow the tickets quickly.
Good to know
- Most tours have fixed start times and meeting points around town; a car or a bicycle makes the day easier.
- Palm Springs rates peak in February; consider the surrounding desert cities if the town is full.
- Confirm the programme and any late additions on the organiser's site in January.
Where to stay for Modernism Week
