Registration is now open for the
65th Cazares Family Reunion!
August 1-3, 2025
This year, we are shifting venues away from our beloved Palm Springs to Tahquitz Pines Retreat. We heard you loud and clear! We want less heat, more family time, and to continue our amazing legacy activities. The Talent Show, Salsa Contest, pool time, poker, and karaoke will be in full force! We will even be providing dinner at the Friday evening Salsa Contest. Reserve your room!
Tahquitz Pines Retreat
About Tahquitz Pines Retreat
"Tahquitz Pines Retreat is a one-of-its-kind event and lodging space nestled in the gorgeous mile-high San Jacinto mountaintops. The ideal getaway for groups of any size and for any occasion..."
The Cazares Clan will buy out the entire venue and will not have strict noise restrictions like at other Palm Springs hotels. Most cabins are situated within close proximity to each other, the pool, and main gathering places. The elders have 1st pick to reserve the most accessible rooms. Because the facility rates are more affordable, we will offer a buffet meal at the welcome reception and hopefully provide a dinner buffet prior to the Talent Show! The goal for this new location is to create more family memories and time together.

A Bit of History
The Cazares siblings started going to Palm Springs in 1959. Back then Palm Springs was a small desert town that hosted the rich and famous during the winter months. Because the summers were so hot, hotel rooms were available very cheap. The Cazares clan, being a resourceful bunch, jumped on the opportunity to have a great and affordable get-away weekend at a nice hotel with all their siblings. This kicked-off what would become an incredible tradition for the Cazares siblings, and their Cazares cousins, and now the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation families. The first hotel was the Lone Palm. There have been many since, such as the Vista del Sol, Riviera, Double Tree and our favorite, the Renaissance Esmeralda.
Family Gratitude
We owe a debt of gratitude and thanks to our elders for creating this remarkable experience and all those who have worked hard (coordinators) to keep this tradition alive over the past 66 years! Only one year was missed during COVID, thus we are celebrating 65 years this year. We wish to honor this tradition by keeping it going for another 65 years and uplifting all the wonderful qualities and values that tie our families together.
Let’s also remember the original elders, Carlos and Berta Cazares, who made the long trek with their children from Mexico to San Diego to provide a better life, and they sure did! They instilled in all their children and their children's children a sense of family values, community service,
respect, dignity and equal opportunity for all. We look forward to continuing their legacy by reconnecting to our roots and celebrating the blessing of our beautiful family!
