This Week in #ILoveGayPalmSprings: We share some photos and revel in the post-pride glow after a packed weekend of fun with Greater Palm Springs Pride! And don't forget, it's time to vote this Tuesday; the Center Stage Gala is Friday, and we congratulate Trio on turning 9 years old!

Palm Springs Pride 2018

The weather was beautiful and so was the turnout at Greater Palm Springs Pride 2018 held this past weekend! We are still recovering from all the fun but wanted to share a few photo highlights with you as we bask in the post-Pride glow. 

Our Dip Into Pride Pool Party Kickoff at Hotel Zoso on Friday Nov 2 raised $5,000 to benefit Greater Palm Springs Pride! 
 

 

 

 

The Gay Desert Guide booth at the Pride Festival was busy all weekend with folks picking up our latest Map & Calendar, signing up to receive our Oasis Insiders weekly newsletter, and entering to win tickets to see Lea DeLaria performing at the McCallum on November 8! 

Note: If you were not our lucky winner, tickets are still available for Lea DeLaria–performing this Thursday–click here for more details. 

At the Pride Parade on Sunday, we drove the Gay Desert Guide Nissan Leaf and were joined by YouTube celebrities Zach & Evan, soon to be married in Palm Springs. Check out Zach & Evan at youtube.com/zachevan and thanks to Steven and Ken for letting us borrow their fabulous T-bird!
