Palm Springs Pride 2024

Welcome to Palm Springs, the town that celebrates diversity and equal rights for everyone!

Palm Springs Pride's first celebration took place in 1986. The Riviera Resort's grand ballroom was the gathering place for the people and local entertainers. During this Pride Parade, known as the Desert Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade, the visitors enjoyed dinner before the start of the grand show. People walked from Williams Road to Mesquite and headed to Demuth Park, the festival’s venue. 

Today, this event draws over 125,000 people from around the world to South California!

The Palm Springs Pride Festival, with the theme ‘Be You,’ takes place from Oct 31 to Nov 3. The parade starts at 10 am on November 3. This colorful parade steps off in the Uptown Design District and ends at Amado.

Multiple venues will be used, including Palm Canyon Drive between Amado and Baristo, Arenas District between Indian Canyon and S. Calle Encilia, and the streets around the downtown park on Museum Way.
