Live music, food trucks, and beer usually make for a good time – and Friday night was no exception in Old Town La Quinta.

The “19th Hole Golf Party” seemed, at least to my eyes, to be a pretty big success. Loads of people made it out to Old Town (which really seems like it was built for these kinds of things), with what looked like a pretty good mix of locals and tourists (easy to spot with their Tommy Bahama shirts and visors).

Now, I am not sure if the event needed 3 stages, especially since the sound of each act would “battle” each other in the center of the plaza, but the performances were a pretty good mix of live bands and DJs – one of which took time out from bounty hunting in a galaxy far, far away:

And one little dude, in particular, just loved it!

It was nice to see an event designed to bring the entire community together – and this one really seemed to do just that.  Young, old, snowbird, tourists, and locals alike all seemed to enjoy the music, food, and beverages – and getting in to it was free!

Props to the organizers behind the event.  Hopefully they do this kind of thing more often.
