Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Modernism Week 2026: A Celebration of Design and Legacy

Tickets are now available for Palm Springs’ most anticipated annual celebration of midcentury style and modern innovation.

As the desert prepares for its signature season of architectural admiration and design-driven discovery, Modernism Week has officially announced its 2026 edition, set to take place from February 12 through 22 in Palm Springs. Each year, this acclaimed festival gathers design enthusiasts, historians, collectors, and visionaries from around the world to explore the influence of modernism and the ways it continues to shape contemporary life.

Modernism Week 2026 promises to be one of the most dynamic and expansive editions to date. Its programming once again captures the balance between reverence for the past and excitement for the future that defines the event’s enduring appeal. For more than a decade, Modernism Week has functioned as both celebration and preservation—an immersive experience that honors the architectural legacy of Palm Springs while expanding its dialogue with global modernist movements.

This year’s festival opens in high style with the Modernism Week Opening Night Party: Modernist Motown. The evening will blend the exuberance of midcentury sound with the clean lines and vibrant spirit of the era’s aesthetic, creating an atmosphere that reflects both nostalgia and sophistication. Guests will gather under the desert sky for an event that is as much about community as it is about design, a reminder that the midcentury ideal of elegance and optimism continues to resonate.

One of the most sought-after experiences, the Premier Double Decker Architectural Bus Tour, returns to offer unparalleled views of Palm Springs’ iconic neighborhoods. These guided journeys provide an intimate glimpse into the details and craftsmanship of homes that defined postwar architectural innovation. With commentary from knowledgeable guides, the tour reveals the stories behind the façades—how architects like William Krisel, Albert Frey, and E. Stewart Williams transformed the desert into a living showcase of form and function.

Among the many highlights are the two Featured Home Tours: Soleil House and The Marquee at Twin Palms. Soleil House, an elegant interpretation of indoor-outdoor living, captures the golden essence of desert modernism through expansive glass walls, open courtyards, and seamless flow between light and space. The Marquee at Twin Palms, a bold reimagining of a midcentury landmark, celebrates architectural restoration while incorporating sustainable updates that bring timeless design into a new century. Both homes embody the festival’s mission to honor authenticity while championing innovation.

Beyond the home tours, the Preview Party for the Palm Springs Modernism Show will once again serve as a focal point for collectors and design enthusiasts. The show brings together dealers, artists, and galleries specializing in midcentury furnishings, fine art, and decorative objects. For many, it remains a defining moment of the festival—an opportunity to connect directly with the creators and curators who continue to shape the evolving language of modern design.

This year’s program also includes a special public celebration: the Walk of Stars Rededication honoring Nelda Linsk, often referred to as the First Lady of Modernism Week. Known for her lifelong dedication to Palm Springs’ cultural and architectural heritage, Linsk’s name and contributions will once again be honored among the icons whose influence has helped preserve and promote the desert’s modernist legacy. The rededication ceremony represents not only recognition but continuity, reaffirming the community’s shared commitment to preserving beauty and history for generations to come.

For attendees seeking deeper engagement, Modernism Week 2026 will feature an array of talks, panels, and curated exhibitions. Scholars, architects, and designers will explore subjects ranging from sustainable preservation to contemporary reinterpretations of modernist principles. The conversations promise to illuminate how the design ideals of the past continue to inspire new approaches to urban living, technology, and the human experience of space.

As always, the festival extends beyond physical events to encompass its philanthropic mission. Through its educational initiatives, Modernism Week supports preservation projects, student scholarships, and public awareness programs that strengthen appreciation for architecture and design. Each ticket sold contributes to this ongoing effort, ensuring that the principles of midcentury modernism—simplicity, openness, and harmony—remain living ideals rather than museum relics.

A seasonal highlight returns in December with the Best of Modernism Holiday Online Auction, running from December 6 to 14, 2025. This curated digital event offers participants the opportunity to bid on exclusive design pieces, rare experiences, and collector’s items. Beyond its allure as an auction, it serves as a vital fundraiser supporting Modernism Week’s nonprofit initiatives. It reflects the spirit of giving and celebration that defines the festival’s broader cultural role.

The aesthetic of Modernism Week 2026 is encapsulated in its official poster, designed by SHAG, whose instantly recognizable style merges playful sophistication with the geometry and color palette of midcentury life. His work continues to serve as a visual ambassador for the festival, capturing both the glamour and warmth that make Palm Springs an enduring symbol of architectural optimism.

With events scheduled across the city and beyond, Modernism Week continues to draw design lovers from around the world to the desert oasis where the modern movement found one of its purest expressions. Each year, the festival expands its reach while remaining rooted in the qualities that define Palm Springs—clarity of light, integrity of design, and a deep respect for creative vision.

Tickets for all events are now available, and as with every season, the most coveted tours and parties are expected to sell out quickly. For visitors planning their itinerary, early reservations ensure access to a full range of experiences that capture the beauty, intellect, and vitality of modernism in all its forms.

Modernism Week’s 2026 edition stands not only as a festival of architecture but as a celebration of lifestyle and community. It reminds those who attend that modernism was never simply a style—it was, and remains, a philosophy of living well, of connecting artfully with one’s surroundings, and of building a future that honors design as an expression of joy.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Harold Matzner, Legendary Desert Philanthropist and Business Visionary, Dies at 88

Palm Springs, Calif. — September 5, 2025.
The Coachella Valley is mourning the loss of Harold Matzner, the celebrated philanthropist, entrepreneur, and cultural force whose vision transformed Palm Springs into a world-class destination for the arts, community, and hospitality. He passed away at the age of 88.

For more than three decades, Matzner made the desert his home, weaving himself into the fabric of Palm Springs life as a businessman, humanitarian, and cultural architect. As the longtime owner of Spencer’s Restaurant, one of the city’s most beloved dining institutions, and the CEO of a New York/New Jersey-based branding and marketing company, Matzner’s entrepreneurial energy was matched only by his generosity.

A Champion for the Arts

Matzner’s name became synonymous with the Palm Springs International Film Festival, which he revitalized into one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. The annual gala, attracting Hollywood’s brightest stars and industry leaders, became the desert’s crown jewel of arts and culture under his leadership, significantly boosting the local economy and putting Palm Springs firmly on the global cultural map.

A Philanthropic Legacy

Beyond the glamour of film, Matzner’s philanthropy touched nearly every corner of the Coachella Valley. From the McCallum Theatre to healthcare, education, and numerous nonprofits, his support fueled the growth of vital community institutions. His contributions extended far beyond financial gifts—he was known as a hands-on leader who believed in strengthening organizations so they could thrive long after his involvement.

National Recognition

In 2017, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Matzner was honored nationally by being inducted into the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans. He was one of only eleven honorees that year, recognized for rising to success through perseverance and for dedicating his life to helping others.

A Man of the Community

While his achievements were many, Matzner remained deeply approachable, often seen greeting guests at Spencer’s, championing local causes, or celebrating milestones with friends and neighbors. His 88th birthday this past July was a reminder of how beloved he was by both the community and the institutions he supported.

An Enduring Impact

Harold Matzner leaves behind more than a legacy—he leaves behind a blueprint for leadership rooted in generosity, vision, and service. Palm Springs is brighter, more vibrant, and more united because of him.

As the desert community reflects on his extraordinary life, one thing is certain: Harold Matzner was more than a philanthropist—he was the heart of Palm Springs.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Splash House Palm Springs California No.1 DJ Festival

Every August, the sun-soaked city of Palm Springs comes alive with the pulse of deep basslines, vibrant colors, and the unforgettable energy of Splash House—a one-of-a-kind music festival that fuses the euphoria of electronic music with the relaxed luxury of California desert life. Unlike sprawling music festivals in the middle of nowhere, Splash House feels both intimate and cinematic. There’s no dusty camping, no muddy fields—just stylish swimsuits, glowing sunsets, spontaneous dance circles, and some of the best DJ lineups on the West Coast. It’s a love letter to house music, summer, and the sheer joy of dancing under the sun.

Splash House spans two weekends—August 8 to 10 and August 15 to 17 in 2025—each weekend delivering an all-new lineup and a completely fresh experience. The lineup for Weekend One is stacked with international talent. ACRAZE, whose “Do It To It” redefined TikTok and club playlists across the globe, leads the charge with high-energy performance that sets the tone for an entire weekend of musical revelry. Diplo joins forces with BLOND:ISH in a back-to-back set destined to become legend, blending global grooves, house, and pure dancefloor magnetism. Rising stars like Disco Lines and Westend bring their signature tech-house vibes, while TroyBoi injects his genre-defying style into the mix. Matroda and Wax Motif form their dynamic duo Waxtroda, promising a heavy-hitting after-hours set. Also spinning throughout the weekend are 49th & Main, San Pacho, Wuki, Nostalgix, Loods, HILLS, Devault, JADED, RaeCola, Swimming Paul, and Daniel Allan, each offering their own spin on house, bass, and future funk, all designed to keep the energy flowing nonstop.

Then comes Weekend Two—just as electric, but with a completely different soundscape. Grammy-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER headlines with their tropical-house-meets-pop rhythms that have become festival anthems around the world. Joining them are electro powerhouse Boys Noize and Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke, whose deep house sensibilities continue to shape dance floors globally. British duo Disclosure offers a DJ set full of sleek grooves and rhythmic precision, while Noizu brings West Coast tech-house to a fever pitch. Meanwhile, Cloonee’s sizzling club-ready sound will close out the after-hours with flair. Up-and-coming acts like Max Styler, BUNT., Neil Frances, AYYBO, and nimino ensure there’s no downtime for your dancing feet. With additions like Annicka, Rafael, Rommii, Taiki Nulight, and Vandelux, the talent is not just top-heavy—every time slot is packed with discovery.

What makes Splash House unlike any other festival isn’t just the lineup. It’s the atmosphere. There’s something alchemical about Palm Springs in the summer: a combination of heat, glamour, and open skies. Splash House captures it perfectly. Each set feels like a private party. The festival’s curation strikes a balance between emerging talent and global legends, with many artists performing special back-to-back sets or rare U.S. appearances. This careful programming creates a unique musical experience that feels both personal and expertly designed.

Equally mesmerizing is the day-to-night format of Splash House. Daytime is a sunlit celebration where friends gather by the pool, basking in the rhythm of tech-house and melodic bass. By night, the scene transforms dramatically. Attendees are transported to the historic Palm Springs Air Museum, where they party under the wings of vintage warplanes with DJ booths set beneath roaring engines and starlit desert skies. It’s a surreal and cinematic switch—one that transforms the festival into something much more than just a daytime pool party.

The experience is immersive without being overwhelming. There’s no mile-long trek to stages, no disorienting crowds. Instead, Splash House feels like the ultimate summer house party—but with better music, better lighting, and a much better view. The festival is reserved for guests 21 and over, making it a more refined atmosphere where style, substance, and celebration coexist.

Splash House has built a loyal following over the past decade, evolving from an indie event into a sought-after summer tradition. It’s one of those rare festivals where the crowd shows up as much for the vibe as for the headliners. You’ll find creative fashion, group costumes, floaties shaped like flamingos, disco balls reflecting off pool water, and a community that is open, playful, and unpretentious. It’s not about who’s wearing the most glitter or who made the perfect Instagram post—it’s about movement, music, and the people you share it with.

In a world where most festivals try to outdo each other with massive stages and multi-million dollar light shows, Splash House does the opposite. It simplifies. It strips things back to what matters most: great music, good people, and an atmosphere so intoxicating that once you go, you’ll be counting down the days until the next one. Without ever relying on gimmicks or overproduced flash, it captures the original spirit of dance culture—connection, spontaneity, and celebration of the now.

If you’re a fan of electronic music—whether you lean toward tech house, tropical beats, future bass, or disco—Splash House is a pilgrimage worth making. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back and high-energy, planned and spontaneous, familiar and refreshingly new. And in the heart of Palm Springs’ desert heat, it manages to feel like a mirage that’s very real: a musical escape where summer never ends, and the beat never fades.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Palm Springs: The World’s Dream Destination Is An Entire Lifestyle and it is always sunny!

There are travel trends—and then there are legends. Palm Springs isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a mood, a lifestyle, and a sun-drenched daydream that never fades. Tucked into Southern California’s Coachella Valley, framed by mountains and dotted with palms, this desert city has redefined what it means to get away from it all. Whether you’re escaping winter gloom, searching for wellness, or chasing the golden glow of glamour and design, Palm Springs is where magic happens under a midcentury roofline and a perfect blue sky.

A Living Museum of Midcentury Modern Marvels

Nowhere in the world preserves architecture like Palm Springs. It’s a living, breathing gallery of modernist genius—a place where concrete, glass, breeze blocks, and butterfly roofs define the skyline. Homes designed by Albert Frey, William Krisel, and Richard Neutra still stand proudly, surrounded by cacti, vintage convertibles, and camera-ready fans on walking tours.

Modernism Week, held each February and again in October, draws thousands of design lovers from every continent. People don’t just visit here—they pilgrimage. With neon signs glowing softly at dusk and bold desert hues framing every view, it’s no wonder Palm Springs is the crown jewel of architectural travel.

Dining is Fine

1300 Restaurants in the Coachella Valley make Palm Springs the true foodie destination. You will love it.

Sunshine Is the Lifestyle

Here, the weather isn’t just part of the package—it is the package. With more than 300 days of sunshine every year, Palm Springs is a year-round oasis. Winters are warm, spring feels like summer, and even in the hottest months, the pools sparkle and the margaritas flow. There’s a rhythm to life in the desert, and it pulses with radiant joy.

Whether you’re enjoying a lazy breakfast outdoors in January or watching a blood-orange sunset paint the San Jacinto Mountains, the eternal summer feeling is real—and wildly addictive.

Where Wellness Is Elevated to an Art

From vintage Hollywood getaways to state-of-the-art wellness resorts, Palm Springs has mastered the art of relaxed luxury. At Sensei Porcupine Creek, a private wellness retreat nestled against the mountains, personal trainers, spa therapists, and chefs create custom programs around movement, nourishment, and rest. Elsewhere, mineral hot springs, sound baths, and guided meditations await.

Here, wellness doesn’t feel forced—it feels natural. You can hike a canyon, take a yoga class under the palms, get a massage outdoors, and never once feel rushed or commercialized. Palm Springs gives you the gift of space: space to think, space to breathe, and space to rediscover yourself.

Star Power With a Relaxed Smile

There’s something about Palm Springs that whispers, “You’re welcome here.” In the golden age of Hollywood, stars like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Marilyn Monroe turned Palm Springs into a desert playground. They came here for the privacy, the dry heat, and the freedom to let loose. Today, celebrities still sneak in and out—but the spirit remains egalitarian.

It’s one of the only places in the world where you can wear a caftan to brunch and nobody blinks. You’ll see Rolls Royces parked next to old VW vans. Glamour lives here—but it doesn’t try too hard. That’s the secret.

Every Corner Is a Postcard

From the iconic Pink Door House to the rainbow-hued Saguaro Hotel, from towering windmills to midcentury motels, Palm Springs is endlessly photogenic. The backdrop of the mountains against the pastel skyline makes it one of the most Instagrammed places on earth.

Even better, the city knows its angles. Palm Springs embraces its identity—sunny, surreal, and spectacular. That’s why fashion shoots, film crews, and influencers come here in droves. But it’s also why travelers return. It’s just so visually satisfying.

Culture, Creativity, and Coolness

Palm Springs isn’t just a desert—it’s a cultural oasis. Year after year, it surprises and delights with festivals, exhibitions, and pop-up experiences. From the Palm Springs International Film Festival to the Desert X art biennial, creativity pulses through the sand.

Add in music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach, and sporting events like the BNP Paribas Open, and you’ve got a calendar packed with unforgettable moments. Yet it’s never overwhelming. Everything here is walkable, intimate, and just the right size.

Hotels with Personality

Palm Springs is known for its boutique hotels that feel like dream homes. Think tiki torches, outdoor bathtubs, poolside fire pits, and design details pulled straight from a 1965 cocktail party. Whether you stay at A Place In The Sun Hotel, or dine at the famous LULU’s, your lodging will feel like part of the adventure—not just a place to sleep.

Many hotels offer adult-only tranquility, vintage aesthetics, or spa-like serenity. It’s not just about booking a room—it’s about finding your vibe.

A Gateway to Nature

If you’re craving fresh air and epic views, Palm Springs offers direct access to some of California’s most stunning landscapes. Hike through Indian Canyons, explore Joshua Tree National Park, or take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up into pine forest and snow. In the span of a single day, you can journey from desert floor to alpine peak.

There’s something spiritual about the landscape—silent, powerful, and healing. And it’s never more than 10 minutes away.

Quirky, Classy, and Always Cool

Palm Springs doesn’t follow trends—it sets them. It celebrates what makes it different: the oversized Marilyn statue, the star-studded Walk of Fame, the giant colorful sculptures, the rainbow flags fluttering in the sun. It’s open-hearted, playful, and unashamedly fabulous.

Even as the world changes, Palm Springs never loses its sense of self. It knows exactly what it is: iconic, inviting, irresistible.

In Conclusion: Why Palm Springs Wins the World

Palm Springs is not just a destination—it’s an experience of pure joy and total presence. It invites you to slow down, soak it in, and reconnect—with nature, with style, and with yourself. It’s no wonder it continues to trend year after year, decade after decade.

Because while the world rushes on, Palm Springs lounges in the sun—and waits for you to arrive.
