PALM SPRINGS BaT MEET-UP, FEBRUARY 21st

Even if your holiday decor is still up (we won’t judge), heed the call of the calendar’s turning—BaT’s 2026 event season is here! We’re excited to announce that our first Meet-Up of the year will be hosted at the future home of Desert Dunes Preserve, a project of Oswit Land Trust, in Palm Springs. The event will take place on Saturday, February 21, from 9:00am to 1:00pm, and is free to attend for all!

Nestled just off Palm Drive north of Interstate 10, in the arid and dramatic landscape of California’s Coachella Valley, lies the former Desert Dunes Golf Club. The course served golfers from the 1980s until closing in the 2020s, and is now slated to become a nature preserve to provide a home for all manner of local flora and fauna.

In February, however, the paved grounds and iconic 1980s clubhouse will host something entirely different: an array of automotive goodness and a crowd of people to appreciate it, all set against a striking backdrop of mountains, valleys, and rolling hills. Also on hand will be the fine folks from BaT Local Partner Compass Racing, who are opening a new facility in Palm Springs as we speak.

This will be a casual affair—no registration is required, so just show up, bring a cool vehicle if you have one, and shoot the breeze with BaT community members and staff. We’ll be there to welcome you with complimentary refreshments and swag, while supplies last. And volunteers from Oswit Land Trust will be available to give tours of the preserve for anyone interested.

We should have lots of space, but these gatherings do get popular so please note that parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. We can’t wait to see you there!
