Sunday T-Dance

Friday nights at Oscar's belong to Dragachella, the desert's glittering drag festival and dance party. Rotating queens deliver outrageous performances while the crowd dances until the last beat drops. It's part cabaret, part nightclub spectacle—the kind of high-energy, all-in celebration that makes Palm Springs feel like the center of the universe. Doors at 9 PM; $10 standing room or $20 for a table. 21+.

Palm Springs' longest-running drag brunch is exactly what it promises—attitude included. Two seatings (11 AM and 2 PM) of outrageous queens, bottomless mimosas, and the kind of unfiltered banter that makes this the desert's most reliably entertaining Saturday. Arrive early, tip well, and come ready to get served.

The new playground at Oscar's Palm Springs with DJ Rafael M spinning all night. A late-night scene that's all about good vibes and dancing — just keep it classy and respectful. Entrance on Indian Canyon, across from Home Boys boutique. $10 entry, or free if you've got a Bunker card.

Palm Springs' longest-running drag brunch, where the queens are outrageous and the attitude is free (well, included with your ticket). Bottomless mimosas, full meals, and a room full of people who actually know how to have a good time. Two seatings: 10 AM and 1 PM. Arrive early, tip well, and prepare to get served.

Palm Springs keeps a piece of gay history alive every Sunday with the T-Dance — a tradition born in Fire Island and Provincetown that's thriving here on Oscar's outdoor patio. Rotating local and guest DJs spin music that honors the genre, drawing a crowd that knows exactly what they're here for. It's four hours of dancing, community, and the kind of afternoon that reminds you why this ritual has endured.

Sweden's Queen of Swing, Jazz, and Vaudeville returns to Oscar's for an unforgettable evening. Gunhild Carling is a multi-instrumentalist and high-energy performer who plays over a dozen instruments—trumpet, trombone, bagpipes, harp, recorder—often switching between them mid-song while tap dancing and singing. This is the kind of show that reminds you why live entertainment matters.
