XOXO Palm Springs, June 10 - 21, 2027

  Where Creativity Comes to Life

Some places are known for what happened there.

Palm Springs is known for what continues to happen here.

For nearly a century, artists, architects, filmmakers, writers, musicians, performers, designers, and dreamers have been drawn to this desert oasis for inspiration. They came for the sunshine and open skies, but stayed for something more elusive: the freedom to think differently, create boldly, and express themselves without limits.

Together, they helped shape a city unlike any other.

From the clean lines of midcentury modern architecture to world-class art exhibitions, from intimate live performances to groundbreaking design, creativity has long been woven into the fabric of Palm Springs. It lives in our neighborhoods, art and artists, theaters, restaurants, museums, public spaces, and cultural landmarks. It shows up in the stories we tell, the experiences we create, and the people who keep reimagining what this destination can be.

Each June, XOXO Palm Springs celebrates that enduring creative spirit.

For two weeks, artists, performers, cultural organizations, businesses, and community leaders come together to showcase the imagination, innovation, and artistry that define Palm Springs today. Through exhibitions, performances, architectural experiences, film screenings, workshops, culinary events, and cultural gatherings, XOXO invites residents and visitors alike to experience the city through the lens of creativity.

This is more than a festival.

It's a celebration of the people, places, and ideas that make Palm Springs one of California's most vibrant cultural destinations.
