The first ONE-PS Picnic & Community Expo (formerly PSNIC Picnic) was held in 2008 when about 400 residents attended to enjoy a complimentary BBQ lunch and view a handful of booths.

The picnic has been growing annually, and has become a favorite City-wide Neighborhood Event. Each year it becomes the largest ever: over 1000 residents enjoy the BBQ lunch, DJ entertainment, Pooch Parade, and exhibits at more than 50 booths.

Exhibitors range from the Desert Water Agency to the Palm Springs Art Museum. The City of Palm Springs always has a great showing with the Police Department, Fire Department, Search and Rescue teams, as well as the CERT Program. Neighborhoods get involved with booths and prizes.
