Closing Out the Festival’s Newly Expanded 2022 Season, Splash House Makes Waves

For the final time this summer, the desert resort city of Palm Springs played host to thousands of partygoers eager to beat the heat at this year's Splash House.

The pool party-festival hybrid deepened its presence in the city this year, expanding to three weekends for its 2022 season and offering three times the fun under the SoCal sun.

Held in June and August, Splash House showcases an array of techno and house music artists spread throughout four different venues, each offering unique experiences.

Three resort hotels host daytime festivities where guests can relax poolside, partake in balcony-decorating contests or bust a move on the dancefloor. At night, an air museum opens its doors to partygoers, offering a chance to dance alongside World War II airplanes well into the wee hours of the morning.

For its final weekender, Splash House began its festivities at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The afterhours event allows revelers to dance the night away under a massive hangar housing combat aircraft from the bygone eras of warfare. 

Indonesian house music star Bleu Clair, Porter Robinson's Air2Earth alias and Abana took over the tarmac on Friday night. On Saturday, the stage was lit up by performances by Sam Hiller, Chris Lorenzo and Seth Troxler.
