The Circa Caliente Weekender is scheduled to return to the Caliente Tropics Resort in Palm Springs, California, from October 1 to October 4, 2026. The event focuses on Tiki culture and mid-century modern aesthetics, specifically featuring a ‘Mid-century Monsters’ theme for the 2026 celebration.

The four-day event will include music spanning the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, alongside Yacht Rock and Exotica.
