Gay Travel Guide to Palm Springs

Palm Springs has been an LGBTQ+ getaway for decades, dating back to the glamorous days of Hollywood in the early 1930s. Actors working in Hollywood would escape to the oasis, just a two-hour drive away, to let loose and mingle with other closeted members of the entertainment industry. Today, Palm Springs may have a reputation as a destination primarily for middle-aged or retired visitors, but don’t be fooled, it remains a playground for all generations. Especially during major events like Gay Pride, The White Party and the Coachella Music Festival.
