Raise a Glass to the Marine Corps at Pioneer Days Mixer

The City of Twentynine Palms invites the community to come together for an evening of celebration, camaraderie, and pride at the upcoming A Toast to 250 Mixer, honoring the 250th Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps as part of the 89th Annual Pioneer Days. The event will take place on Thursday, October 16, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the historic Old Schoolhouse Museum.

This special evening will feature live music by Catt & The Deacon, catering by The Hangry Bear, a festive photo booth provided by Party Life Photo Booth, and remarks from the 2025 Pioneer Days dignitaries and more. Guests will enjoy an atmosphere filled with history, community spirit, and a shared connection to Twentynine Palms’ deep ties with the Marine Corps.

“A Toast to 250 is more than a mixer, it’s a tribute to the strong bond between our community and the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Community Events Coordinator Scott Clinkscales. “We look forward to honoring this milestone alongside our residents, local businesses, and distinguished guests. It’s the perfect way to kick off our Pioneer Days weekend festivities.”

Tickets for the mixer are $30 per person and are available for purchase now through Sunday, October 12 at 29palms.org. Space is limited, and attendees are encouraged to reserve their tickets early.
