PALM DESERT, CA – (October 30, 2018) – “A Miracle on El Paseo” will celebrate its 11th Anniversary on Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 5 to 9 p.m., thanks to The Shops on El Paseo, the desert’s premier luxury collection of retailers and restaurants who generously sponsors the annual event benefiting BIGHORN Behind A Miracle (BAM).

The popular holiday themed, charitable event stretches across two-blocks of the famous El Paseo shopping district and includes luxury boutiques such as Gucci, St. John, Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren, and Burberry.

Kris Kringle appears early to the delight of visitors and residents, offering snapshots for holiday cards.

New this year is the ultimate holiday-inspired Instagram interactive display featuring a larger-than-life walk-thru snow globe installation. Additional outdoor activities on this magical evening gourmet food tastings and refreshments from 20 of the Valley’s top restaurants, a 5-story Ferris Wheel, and do it yourself ornament decorating. Musical entertainment on the City of Palm Desert concert stage will feature Citrus College’s pop rock ensemble Night Shift and Corylive! Headlining the evening is Martha Davis & The Motels.
