Tool Shed's signature underwear contest brings out the best (and least) of the Warm Sands crowd — expect a packed bar, serious competition, and plenty of appreciation for what everyone's working with. It's the kind of night that keeps the regulars coming back and gives newcomers a real taste of what this place is about.

The Dinah kicks off with one massive night at Hunters Palm Springs — three rotating DJs (Suzy Cue, Lancia, and Les Ortiz) spinning house and pop across six hours, a packed dance floor, strong cocktails, and the kind of energy that only happens when this many people show up ready to celebrate. Come early, dress fabulous, and dance with the girls, gays, theys, and allies who actually know how to have a good time.

Friday night at Tool Shed gets a boost with DJ Taj spinning the kind of tracks that keep the cruise bar's regulars and newcomers moving. It's the perfect excuse to get out of the house and into a room full of men who know how to have a good time.

International DJ Femmea brings fierce house and pop beats to Hunters Palm Springs for a Friday night built for dancing, flirting, and owning the floor. High energy, sexy vibes, and a packed dance floor — exactly what a Palm Springs nightclub does best.

Friday nights at Oscar's belong to Dragachella—a festival-inspired drag party where the energy never dips. Rotating queens deliver outrageous performances while the dance floor stays packed and the music keeps pumping all night long. Doors open at 9 PM; come early for a good spot, grab a drink, and get ready to be part of the spectacle. $10 standing room, $20 for table seating. 21+.

Palm Springs' longest-running drag brunch is exactly what it sounds like—outrageous queens, bottomless mimosas, and attitude served with your eggs. Two seatings (11 AM and 2 PM) mean you can pick your drama time. Arrive early to order food and get your first drink in, because the queens don't wait for stragglers. Brunch and bottomless mimosas are sold separately, and yes, they mean it.
