Karaoke Party Every Tuesday

Palm Springs' longest-running drag brunch is exactly what the name promises—outrageous queens, bottomless mimosas, and attitude served with a side of drama. Two seatings (10 AM and 1 PM) mean you can pick your timing; arrive early to order food and get settled. Front table seating puts you right up close to the action. Brunch and drinks are sold separately, so budget accordingly—and remember, this is a cashless venue, so bring your card.

The legendary Sunday afternoon tea dance at Oscar's — where the Palm Springs LGBTQ+ community gathers for dancing, drinks, and pure good vibes in the outdoor courtyard. It's the kind of weekly ritual that keeps people coming back: a packed dance floor, a killer DJ, and a room full of people genuinely happy to be there. Casual dress, serious fun, and the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Christmas in July gets the full treatment at The Roost — a three-course dinner from Trilussa, a wreath and basket auction, and a headlining performance from Keisha D that brings genuine holiday magic to a summer evening. The whole night benefits The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, so you're celebrating and giving back at the same time. Doors open at 5pm; the show starts at 7pm.

Monday nights at The Roost belong to anyone with a song in their heart and Joel Baker at the keys. Signups start at 6pm, singing runs 6:30pm to 9pm — whether you're belting out Broadway, your guilty pleasure pop anthem, or just here to cheer on friends, it's the kind of low-pressure, genuinely fun night that keeps people coming back. Free, and exactly what a neighborhood lounge should do well.

Tuesday nights at The Roost belong to anyone who wants to belt out a song, crack up at someone else's pick, or just hang out with people who actually know how to have fun. Sean Boyles runs the show every week starting at 6pm, and it's the kind of low-key, no-judgment vibe that keeps regulars coming back. Free entry means there's zero reason not to show up.

Friday nights at Oscar's belong to Dragachella—a festival-inspired drag party where the energy never dips. Rotating queens, a packed dance floor, and a crowd that's here to lose it. Doors at 9 PM; $10 standing room or $20 for a guaranteed seat. 21+.
