Opening Night will be a celebration of music and style at Modernist Motown. Live Motown classics, bold Palm Springs style, cocktails and delectable food stations by Lulu for an unforgettable night.

The party starts here—Modernism Week’s Opening Night Modernist Motown is bringing throwback soul, killer style and nonstop grooves to Modernism Week’s Opening Night. Think rooftop party energy meets retro soul, with bold lights, hand-crafted cocktails, vintage cars and a killer live band playing all of your favorite Motown songs. From The Supremes and Marvin Gaye to Stevie Wonder and The Temptations, it’s wall-to-wall smash hits designed to keep you on the dance floor all night. Fabulous cuisine provided by Lulu California Bistro.

Add in our favorite DJ Modgirl with go-go dancers and serious midcentury-chic vibes, and you’ve got the ultimate mashup of Palm Springs cool and Detroit soul. It’s not just a party—it’s a full-on experience.

Grab your crew, throw on your best mod-inspired look, and get ready to sing, dance and vibe at the most stylish kickoff of the year. Sequins on, cocktails up, it’s Modernist Motown all night long. Presented with generous underwriting by Ferguson Home.
