Before the palm trees and streets we know today, this land held stories, traditions, and voices that shaped our community. The Dream Homes neighborhood has a history worth celebrating — and on April 11, we’re bringing those stories to life.
Join us for the inaugural Esperanza Rising: Echoes of the Past, the first event in a brand-new community art and culture series celebrating the past, present, and future of Cathedral City.
Experience a morning of cultural performances, traditional bird singing, interactive art activities, local artisan vendors, and food trucks.
