The Weed Show is one of Twentynine Palms’ oldest and most unique artistic traditions. This annual display, now in its seventh decade, features artistic arrangements of indigenous desert vegetation and found objects both natural and man-made. Think of it as local rendition of the traditional floral display. Each show follows a specific theme. The 2017 Weed Show theme is “No Business Like Old Business.” The event takes place Saturday, November 4, from noon to 4 p.m., and Sunday, November 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Weed Show highlights the beauty of local flora and the skill of local artisans.
