Bringing Italian Culture to life in the Coachella Valley!
Save the Date! November 3, 2012
Thank you to our sponsors, vendors, Board Members, staff and volunteers who made this event so successful!
Thank you to all who attended, we enjoyed providing you a bit of Italy in the Desert! We can’t wait ‘til next year!
A community event to celebrate the Italian heritage and culture! With this event, Desert Arc is acknowledging the generous donation of land for our current campus from the Western Italian Golf Association in 1983…and the Italian heritage of our current Executive Director, Richard Balocco.
This event will have different types of vendors, performers, and a Family Fun Zone. We foresee the festival becoming an annual event and in the future envision it becoming a popular event that draws people to the Coachella Valley and the city of Rancho Mirage.
