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, with events taking place across some of Palm Springs’ most celebrated destinations. Among the festival’s featured venues is the beautifully restored Plaza Theatre, a landmark of the city’s cultural heritage that serves as a centerpiece for performances, screenings, and special festival experiences.

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. From the Plaza Theatre to galleries, boutique hotels, historic landmarks, and outdoor stages throughout the city, the festival invites residents and visitors alike to discover Palm Springs through a vibrant mix of dance, film, architecture, visual arts, live music, and immersive experiences.

Whether you're attending a headline event at the Plaza Theatre or stumbling upon an unexpected creative moment elsewhere in the city, XOXO Palm Springs offers a fresh perspective on the people, places, and stories that make our desert community extraordinary.
