Signature Events

Our annual Gala is one of, if not the event that defines the Palm Springs Air Museum. A black tie event, it’s held to honor special members in the world of aviation, as well as raise funds desperately needed to fund the museum’s many projects. The Gala represents a fun night of food, drinks, and dancing!

This is a very special day at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Our brief Memorial service is dedicated to all of our fallen comrades, who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. In their honor, we highlight the service with a fly-by and flower drop of over 3,000 red and white carnations from a vintage warbird. This most impressive ceremony is our way of saluting our fallen comrades. Flight exhibitions & activities scheduled all day long, with Memorial Ceremony and Flower Drop scheduled for 1PM.
