Illuminated Twilight Bus Tour

2025 marks our 13th year of lighting architecturally significant buildings in Palm Springs. This double decker bus tour will depart as the sun sets behind Mt. San Jacinto, and while the desert light bathes our city in its warm glow–we will view the specially designed lighting on 13 of our most interesting buildings and other architecturally significant structures.

As a special post-Illuminated Twilight Tour treat, guests will be invited to step into the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar for complimentary appetizers and cocktails.

Event lighting for the Illuminated Twilight Bus Tour is designed and installed by Unmatched Lighting. Underwriting for this tour is generously provided by Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar.
