Hunters, Palm Springs
302 E Arenas Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262Thursday's Opening Party is the only night of The Dinah 2026 that leaves the festival hotels. It takes over Hunters at 302 E Arenas Road - a women-owned nightclub, as the festival's own listing notes, and the dance-floor anchor of the Arenas District since 1998 - from 9 PM to 2 AM. Expect Dinah dancers and Dinah DJs across the club's two rooms, with bottle service available on request. Hunters is a two-minute walk from Hotel Zoso and about three minutes from The Hilton Palm Springs, so anyone staying downtown can walk both ways.
