Borrego Sun - Since 1949

Borrego Springs has a way of capturing your hearts – and we know it does the same for you!

We love its charm, nestled in a spectacular landscape, far enough from the city to offer peace, quiet, and a world of beauty.

There’s something magical about the long views, dark skies, and untouched wilderness that surround us.

We’re constantly inspired by its rich culture – unexpected art, theater, and music that bring our community to life.

We’re grateful for the vibrant small businesses that keep Borrego thriving and bring so much character to our town.

Most of all, we treasure the people of Borrego Springs – neighbors who come together, support each other, and make this a truly special place.

We’re asking you to consider contributing to the BVEF and become a stakeholder in the future of Borrego Springs, ensuring that it continues to prosper and always be ‘that special place’.
