SINATRA IN PALM SPRINGS

PALM SPRINGS XOXO: FILM EVENT

JUNE 11 - JUNE 21

4PM: SINATRA HAPPY HOUR

5PM FILM: SINATRA IN PALM SPRINGS

As part of the inaugural XOXO Palm Springs Arts & Cultural Celebration, we’re bringing back the fan-favorite documentary Sinatra in Palm Springs to the Palm Springs Cultural Center. A beloved title with local audiences, this special return screening celebrates Sinatra’s enduring connection to the desert—his style, his swagger, and the legacy he left behind.

Arrive early and settle in for Sinatra Happy Hour, happening before each screening. Mix and mingle with fellow Sinatra enthusiasts, enjoy the bar, and soak in the atmosphere of Palm Springs at its most iconic.

Sinatra in Palm Springs – The Place He Called Home, a documentary film by Leo Zahn, explores Frank Sinatra’s deep attachment to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, his primary home for almost 50 years. The film captures the spirit of the Sinatra era and pays tribute to the unique lifestyle of Sinatra’s Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. Steeped in affection and appreciation for the deep bond between Sinatra and these beguiling desert towns, Sinatra in Palm Springs tells the story of a man whose generosity and compassion for his fellow citizens had no bounds. He loved the desert and its people. He loved the local restaurants and bars. His best friends lived nearby. Revealing interviews with friends who knew him best bring to life a bygone era.

JACK DANIELS WHISKEY TASTING - JUNE 12, 13, & 19, 20
Elevate your evening with a Jack Daniels Whiskey Tasting, a separately ticketed, hosted experience offering a deeper dive into the spirit of Sinatra himself.

Guests will sample **Jack Daniel's—Sinatra’s personal favorite—alongside additional curated whiskey selections, each chosen to complement the era and energy of his legendary lifestyle. Hosted with insight and storytelling, this tasting offers a unique look at Sinatra’s tastes, traditions, and timeless cool.

Available exclusively weekends!

5PM – 8PM | JUNE 13, 14 & 19, 20

Over the last season, we’ve been in the kitchen—tasting, testing, and working alongside our chef to shape something we’re genuinely proud to share here at the Palm Springs Cultural Center.

During XOXO weekends, you’re invited to taste a little of that journey.

Our dough is fermented for three days, giving it a subtle tang and depth of flavor, then baked to that perfect balance—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Our pizzas are topped with fresh ingredients from our Certified Farmers Markets and use only house-made sauces.

You’ll find classic favorites alongside vibrant vegetarian options, each one built with the same care we’ve been refining all season.

And like everything we’re doing for XOXO, it’s not just about what’s on the plate—it’s about how you experience it.

Take a seat at our supper table-style setup, where guests gather, share a meal, and ease into the evening together.

If you’ve been hearing about the pizza this season, this is your chance to try it.

If you’re new to Palm Springs, this is a great place to start!

Palm Springs comes alive this summer with XOXO Palm Springs, a new citywide festival showcasing the creativity, stories, and artistic spirit that define our desert community. For twelve days, the city transforms into an open‑air cultural playground — from theaters and galleries to historic landmarks, boutique hotels, and outdoor stages.

Set on the ancestral lands of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, XOXO Palm Springs honors the region’s deep cultural roots while celebrating the artists, performers, and visionaries shaping its future. Whether you’re drawn to dance, film, architecture, visual arts, live music, or immersive experiences, this festival invites you to explore Palm Springs through a new creative lens.
