Sponsors of this series are the City of Palm Springs, PS Resorts, Grit Development, VRON  – Vacation Rental Owners and Neighbors of Palm Springs and Desert Aids Project.

“Our city now has the perfect outdoor venue in which to host a concert series like this,’ says Chamber CEO Nona Watson, adding that all current COVID-19 safety protocols will be followed.   “Our goal is to bring visitors and residents from throughout the Coachella Valley to downtown Palm Springs during the middle of the week so as to provide a boost to our local bars, restaurants, and retail businesses. We also believe these special events will increase hotel room nights thanks to those attending weekend conventions and events extending their stays.”
