Palm Desert's Holiday Celebration Takes Shape Tonight at The Gardens

PALM DESERT, CA – The City of Palm Desert’s annual Holiday Celebration makes its debut at The Gardens on El Paseo tonight.

The Garden’s center court will echo with the sounds of "Blue Christmas" and other Elvis Presley classics performed live and in character by Scot Bruce – A Rockin’ Tribute to the King.

The nostalgic music will complement the classic cars of Cruise Night El Paseo, which will be on display on the neighboring street and at The Gardens parking structure.

Free pictures with Santa Claus, strolling carolers, hot cider and cocoa, and fun children’s activities led by the Palm Desert Youth Committee will add to the holiday spirit.
