Meet Co-Chairs Ron Cressy and John Burge outlined an amazing slate of events to showcase the gorgeous weather and uniquely Californian desert lifestyle so prized by residents and visitors to the Palm Springs area.

The schedule will include driving tours to local landmarks and restaurants, Mid-Century movie stars’ homes and architecture, and a very special reception at a venue housing seven great car collections. Many activities will be outside and all will respect any required COVID limitations.

There will be time for visitors to explore Palm Springs on their own at the very popular Palm Springs Village Fest/Crafts Fair and free admission to the Palm Springs Art Museum.

Technical presentations, receptions and a silent auction of high-end items is planned.

The main event, our Concours of the Classics celebrating 100 years of Lincoln luxury, will be held on Saturday May 8 on the beautiful Desert Princess Resort Golf Course, which is just steps away from the Double Tree, our headquarters hotel.
