As Pride season wraps up, Greater Palm Springs Pride prepares to 'Sip, Sashay and Celebrate' Pride and honor those who have courageously fought for equality and are no longer with us.

Palm Springs is the leading LGBTQ destination, year after year, and welcomes visitors of all genders, all ages and from all parts of the US and the world. Brimming with a roster of events, and the largest gathering of LGBTQ people in the city's history and the largest free Pride festival south of San Francisco –from Nov 1-3, with record-breaking attendance anticipated. This is the first year that attendees are able to drink alcoholic beverages throughout the festival parameters.

We commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall and celebrate the spirit of Palm Springs' vibrant LGBTQ community.

Nile, activist and business-woman extraordinaire Ellen Wolf, mentor, educator, and ally Jennifer Jungwirth, retired Army Sergeant Joyce Oldham, fundraiser, producer, and host Tommi Rose, and former Mayor Ron Olden.

The new event zone coupled with an unprecedented lineup of headliners who advocate for the LGBTQ community sets the tone for a Pride Festival that educates, inspires and celebrates our diverse community."
