93rd Annual Palm Springs Firefighters Fish Fry Returns to Ruth Hardy Park This Saturday

PALM SPRINGS, California — One of the desert's longest-running public traditions returns this weekend as local emergency responders prepare to host the 93rd annual Palm Springs Firefighters Fish Fry. Organized by the Palm Springs Firefighters Association, the highly anticipated community gathering is scheduled for Saturday evening, June 6, 2026, at Ruth Hardy Park.

The event officially kicks off at 6:00 PM and is completely free to attend for residents and visitors of all ages. Attendees can expect a classic, family-friendly atmosphere featuring freshly prepared fish, cold beverages, live musical entertainment, and a variety of raffle prizes.

Beyond the food and entertainment, the annual fish fry serves as a vital bridge between local public safety officials and the neighborhood. It offers a relaxed, informal setting where families can meet, converse with, and show support for the first responders who protect the Palm Springs community daily.

With pleasant seasonal evening temperatures expected, organizers encourage attendees to arrive at Ruth Hardy Park starting at 6:00 PM to secure seating, enjoy the live music, and participate in the community raffle drawings.
