California Bank & Trust (CB&T), one of California’s leading banks, is sponsoring two of Coachella Valley’s signature events: Fashion Week El Paseo and the Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival. These partnerships demonstrate CB&T’s commitment to supporting local businesses, events and organizations.
“We’re incredibly proud to support and invest in the vibrancy of the Coachella Valley through our sponsorships of Fashion Week El Paseo and the Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival,” said CB&T Executive Vice President, Region President Steve Stuckey. “As a regional bank with a local focus, we understand that the strength of a community lies in its people and its culture.”
The West Coast’s largest fashion week, Fashion Week El Paseo will be held March 14-19 at The Gardens on El Paseo. This world-class event provides an inspiring, immersive fashion experience and will feature cocktail receptions, pop-ups, and meet-and-greets with a who’s who of the country’s top design talents. As the presenting sponsor, CB&T is providing an AI-generated photo booth for attendees to create customized images of themselves wearing different fashions on the runway.
Returning March 20-23 to El Paseo, the Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival will feature a diverse selection of mouth-watering eats, premium wines, hands-on cooking demonstrations and more. Presented by Palm Springs Life, the event will include a roster of the nation’s top chefs, vintners and brewmasters. As sponsors of the Palm Desert Food & Wine Culinary Theatre, CB&T will host demonstrations by chefs and distribute branded gifts to attendees.
Stuckey added, “by sponsoring events that celebrate creativity, style, culinary excellence and local talent, we're not only fostering economic growth but also reinforcing our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the community.”

- 73000 Highway 111, Palm Desert
- 42035 Washington Street, Palm Desert
