Bring your friends, wear your favorite Pride outfit, and a little room in your schedule for dancing. Palm Springs Pride returns November 6-8, 2026, and the Arenas District is one of the places to follow the music throughout the weekend.
With free festival admission, you can enjoy the entertainment, explore downtown and celebrate with your chosen family. A street fair, a music festival, and a community gathering, Pride offers plenty of ways for you to make this weekend your own.
Headliners to Watch Out for
Aubrey O’Day and The Cowgays—Adam Mac, Brooke Eden, and Chris Housman have been announced as festival headliners. O’Day will bring a pop connection to the celebration, while The Cowgays bring country music through a proudly queer lens. Their specific stage assignments and set times are now available below.
Your Weekend Stage Lineup
Make Arenas your starting point, then leave time to explore the DJ Stage at Palm Canyon Drive and Amado Road and the Pride Community Stage at Tahquitz and Palm Canyon.
Arenas District Walkabout
