Palm Canyon Drive & the Arenas District, Palm Springs
Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262Greater Palm Springs Pride is the desert's marquee LGBTQ+ weekend — and 2026 is the 40th annual, themed 'Be Included,' running November 6–8. It's unlike any other Pride in the country: held in mild November, built around Palm Canyon Drive's downtown parade (Sunday, Nov 8 at 10 AM) and a two-day festival, but really defined by the pool parties and the Arenas District nightlife. Warm Sands resorts, circuit events like Desert Heat, and free block parties draw 200,000+ over the week. Parade and festival are free; pool parties and circuit events are ticketed.
