Celebrating 100 Years: Cathedral City's First Land Marker Anniversary
|
|
On Saturday, August 30th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we'll gather at the Mary Pickford Theatre in Downtown Cathedral City to commemorate the 100th anniversary of our city's first designated land marker and map. This historic moment in 1925 marked the beginning of the community we call home today.

What Makes This Event Special
|
|
We've crafted an afternoon that celebrates both our heritage and our connection to entertainment history. The event opens with an exclusive premiere of a short documentary film produced by our talented city staff, chronicling Cathedral City's remarkable transformation from desert landscape to the vibrant community we know and love. Following our historical journey, we'll screen the 1963 classic "Palm Springs Weekend" - and here's the exciting part: this film was actually shot right here in Cathedral City! The Desert Palms Inn served as a key filming location, making our city part of Hollywood history decades ago.
|
|
This free event reflects the spirit of community collaboration that has defined Cathedral City for a century. Special recognition goes to Cynthia Schultz, Associate Planner, for her tireless work bringing this project to life, along with the dedicated Cathedral City Historic Preservation Committee. Their efforts, combined with generous support from our local business partner, Canyon Print & Signs, have made this celebration possible.
|
|
Every attendee will receive exclusive 100th anniversary commemorative items as a lasting memento of this historic milestone. Light refreshments will be provided, and the first 50 attendees will receive complimentary water and popcorn - perfect for enjoying our classic film screening! We encourage residents of all ages to join us for this unique opportunity to connect with our shared history.
