Party like the Rat Pack! Frank Sinatra and his entourage made Greater Palm Springs their playground for decades, leaving their mark on the area. We will start at 6:30 pm on the 18th Terrace & Lawn for cocktails. At 7:00 pm, bring your drink into the Indian Wells Ballroom to continue the party with dinner and Rat Pack era music. This event will have assigned seating. Your table number can be found on the back of your name badge.
Attire: Men and women are asked to dress in formal cocktail attire with a 1960's vibe! Think classy suits, skinny ties, pocket squares, and fedora hats for the men. Women can show off in a skinny sheath or pencil skirts and silk blouses.
