“Marilyn 100” Martini Festival

Step into a world of modern mixology for high-style tastings from specialty purveyors. Includes non-alcoholic offerings.

Marilyn @ The Kimpton: The Marilyn 100 Martini Festival invites guests to step into a world of mid-century glamour and modern mixology on May 30, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

Tickets for 4 sample tastings are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.

Set in the hotel’s curated breezeway at the Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel, the event is just steps from the monumental Forever Marilyn statue. This one-night-only fundraiser blends high-style tastings with a tribute to Monroe’s legendary Hollywood legacy, all set against the backdrop of downtown’s vibrant public art destination.

Attendees will wander through an open-air gallery of specialty spirit purveyors, engaging with experts from premier brands including Ketel One, Teremana, Jägermeister, G.H. Mumm Champagne, and Absolut Vodka. For those seeking non-alcoholic options, Pentire Drinks will serve sophisticated aperitifs such as the Forever Marilyn Martini with Pentire Seaward, strawberry purée, lemon juice, and agave. They will also feature the Paloma, Margarita, and Coastal Spritz.

The evening features a high-energy atmosphere powered by DJ MODgirl, set amidst iconic sculptures by J.D. Hansen, Julian Voss-Andreae, “Angel Wings” mural by Colette Miller, and the world-famous “Love Letters” sculpture. Be sure to find one of David Černý’s “Babies” as you enjoy the evening.
