The City of Rancho Mirage’s 50th anniversary commenced on August 3, 2023. An exciting array of events and celebrations were announced to commemorate half a century of growth, prosperity, and community spirit. Banners and branded messages adorn the streets throughout the city, announcing this historical milestone.
Throughout the year, the city has planned various experiences that will cater to its residents and guests. From a themed State of the City to honoring veterans to Broadway performances, fun events in the city’s amphitheater, a bit of art (and artist) appreciation at the annual Festival of the Arts, and cherishing the magic of the holiday season, this event lineup is set to leave a lasting impression of celebrating all that is Rancho Mirage.
The city is also joining forces with local businesses to create commemorative collaborations. This exciting partnership aims to foster community engagement, promote local enterprises, and pay tribute to the city’s locally-owned iconic brands.
Together, they are crafting celebratory products and experiences that showcase some of the best of Rancho Mirage. The city has partnered with Desert Publications to create a long-awaited historical hardbound commemorative coffee table book showcasing the past, present, and future of Rancho Mirage. This book will debut at the 2024 Rancho Mirage
Writers Festival and be mailed to all Rancho Mirage residents. Additionally, a special 50th Anniversary website will be unveiled, featuring vintage photos, periodical data, and captivating stories from historical archives.
To celebrate this remarkable milestone, the city invites residents, neighbors, and visitors from near and far to come together and join the celebratory festivities.
Let’s raise a toast to 50 glamourous years of Rancho Mirage and embrace the boundless possibilities of the next half-century. Let the festivities begin! To receive electronic updates on city events, please subscribe to our city events list on the city’s website at
