Benefitting MEALS ON WHEELS. November 1st
Hundreds of locals and visitors alike are expected to continue their Halloween celebration with a new annual daytime DJ & Pool Party Event in Palm Springs. “Playa de los Muertos – a Dia de los Muertos Celebration” at the Hacienda Cantina & Beach Club will kick off poolside at 11am November 1st, featuring food, drinks and a wide variety of entertainment from world-renowned DJ Von Kiss along with DJs ColourVision and Aaron C. Event Chairperson Tristan Milanovich will be Mistress of Ceremonies for the full day’s festivities benefiting Meals on Wheels Coachella Valley.
The $45 ticket price for what is expected to be a 400-person event includes an open Sangria bar and tray passed antojitos (appetizers) inspired by the traditional Mexican holiday. Guests are also encouraged to participate in other traditional aspects of the cultural celebration, such as sugar skull-face painting, something that will be offered to guests for free at the event.
“We wanted to honor and capture the color and vibrancy of Dia de los Muertos celebrations and combine it with a beach party like only Palm Springs can offer,” said event coordinator George Nasci-Sinatra. The popular DJs will be juxtaposed against a traditional Mariachi band, with sights and sound celebrating the “Day of the Dead” theme including tissue paper flowers and decorations, sugar skulls and more.
