GENERAL TOUR INFORMATION

Parade attendees must register for all Tours during Phase II Event Registration. Attendees will not be able to register for tours at Parade check-in. Guided tours are designed for everyone to travel as a group.

Each participant is asked to do their part to keep the tour group together. Parade Tours follow the PCA Minimum Standards for Driving Tours. For safety, we recommend all tour participants have a working cellular phone. An on-board or external GPS device/navigation app is also useful. Two-way radios (walkie-talkies) are permitted if they can be tuned to both a radio channel and a security sub-channel (e.g., channel 7 and security channel 12). The passenger/navigator should be the operator of any such radios, so that the driver stays focused on the road. Please drive safely and courteously on all tours.

Drivers should be aware of the high volume of traffic in the Palm Springs area. Allow plenty of time for travel to the designated staging area.

Please consider being a Tour Volunteer. Parade is run by Volunteers and the driving tours are no exception. You must sign up to volunteer during Phase II registration in early April. We need both leader and sweeper cars on all routes, as well as help in the staging areas. Driving Tour volunteers must be registered for Parade and there must be two people in each lead and sweep car. There will be at least two Zoom meeting calls for all tour volunteers prior to Parade start.  Also, a driving tour volunteer meeting will be held on Sunday, June 18th at the La Quinta Resort following Parade Check-In. An email will be sent to all lead, sweep and staging volunteers with more details.

Remember to pack sunscreen and hats for any outdoor tour, no matter if you are participating or volunteering to work the tour.  Even using an umbrella is a good idea to keep shaded from the sun.heat. If you plan to drive an air-cooled Porsche on a tour, please consider the possible effects of expected high temperatures and plan accordingly.

All tour details and times are subject to change. Please check this Parade site for the latest information.

We hope you will register for one or more Tours and discover everything the Coachella Valley has to offer!
