Palm Desert’s Independence Day Celebration

The Palm Desert Civic Center Park will host the City of Palm Desert’s Independence Day Celebration. With a swing band concert, food trucks and a terrific fireworks show—all happening in the Coachella Valley’s premier park—you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to celebrate in the area.

A variety of food trucks and vendors will be on hand with tasty treats, set up by 5 p.m. in the parking lot on the western edge of Civic Center Park. Attendees may also pack a picnic dinner, but portable barbecues and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. For your comfort, bring a blanket or chair to sit on.

The evening’s events officially kick off at 7:30pm at the park’s amphitheater with the singing of the National Anthem. Immediately afterward, the Swing Cats Big Band with the Swing Kittens will entertain the crowd. Then, at 9pm, there will be a 20-minute fireworks extravaganza accompanied by patriotic and contemporary music. The music is simulcast on radio stations The Mix 100.5 FM and 98.5 The Bull.
