Let us be your Gay Desert Guide to the Weekend!
March 8–10, 2019
This weekend in #ILoveGayPalmSprings: The BNP Paribas Open is in full swing (get it?) and if you’re feeling more artistic than sporty, we have two big festivals running through the weekend: Palm Springs Dance Festival and the La Quinta Arts Festival! The very popular and sold-out Red Dress/Dress Red party takes place to benefit The Center, and we have great theatre options this week: The View UpStairs, Hairspray, White Guy on the Bus, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Plus, check out our Happy Hour highlights and HOT DEALS!
BNP Paribas Open
The BNP Paribas Open is the largest international tennis tournament outside of the four Grand Slams, and it kicks off this week at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. It runs from Monday, March 4 through Sunday March 17 and fans from far and wide are here to take in the top-notch tennis. Enjoy the show in Stadiums 2-9 with a Grounds Pass for as little as $20 or watch some of the best athletes in the world up close from a Box Seat in Stadium 1. Treat yourself to the full Tennis Paradise experience with a Daily Double ticket and stay into the evening. Get tickets
