Pop culture icon and music legend Barry Manilow announced today that he will once again perform five holiday concerts to raise funds for 25 charities in the Coachella Valley.
AAP – Food Samaritans is among the beneficiaries, but we MUST be selected at the time of purchase.
Scheduled to take place at Palm Desert’s McCallum Theatre, Manilow’s A Gift of Love VI concerts will feature his hit songs and holiday favorites for the seventh time to benefit 25 Coachella Valley charities. His past holiday concerts have surprised audiences with a children’s choir, Santa Claus, and even snow!
Concerts are scheduled in 2025 for December 16 and 17 and then again December 19, 20 and 21.
Ticket prices range from $99.99 to $2,500.00 each. The information below describes how much of the ticket price is credited to your organization and what “extra” benefits are included as part of the price.
Gold Tickets - Limited to 40 tickets each night
