The Hilton Palm Springs Pool, Palm Springs
400 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262The L-Word Pool Party is The Dinah's signature day event, running Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM at The Hilton Palm Springs. The festival describes the pool packed with attendees from around the globe, with vendors, celebrities, and the Dinah DJs keeping the energy going all afternoon. If someone tells you they are going to The Dinah for one day, this is the day they mean. Shade on the deck is limited once it fills, and early October in Palm Springs still runs into the 90s, so plan for sun. The Hilton is at 400 E Tahquitz Canyon Way.
