Closing Party and Awards Ceremony: The Village @ 5:30 PM

Just because the Finals are over, doesn’t mean the party is! The victors will be crowned around 3:45pm, leaving plenty of time for everyone to get home and gussied up for the big night out, featuring the Festival of Lights Parade right through the heart of downtown Palm Springs.

Join us at The Village, right on the parade route (266 South Palm Canyon Drive), for drinks, food, and *lit* parade views. 🎄 It’ll be busy, so make sure to get there early so you don’t miss our closing toast to the champs, the sponsors, the tournament organizers (hey, that’s us!), and all participants (hey, that’s you!).
