About

The Palm Springs Pride Parade gets a rooftop upgrade — bird's-eye views of all the action from Flannery Exchange, DJ Modgirl spinning nonstop beats, craft cocktails from Lulu's, and a breakfast bar that's back by popular demand. It's four hours of celebration with the San Jacinto Mountains as your backdrop, and proceeds benefit the LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert. General admission starts at $54; VIP tables (some sold out) offer reserved seating and champagne.

Featuring DJ Modgirl
