Thousands of attendees lined the mile-long parade route along Palm Canyon Travel for the annual Palm Springs Pride Parade on Sunday. More than organizations and businesses marched in the parade, which stretched from Tachevah Drive to East Amado Road, terminating at the Pride Festival street fair with outdoor DJs, booths, nourishment, and drinks.

The crowd consisted of locals and out-of-towners, fancy Art Dupont and Jerry Kuehl, who traveled from Scottsdale, Ariz. The two had just met Ali Montano and Thomas Renau, who said they dwell “right up the road.”

It was the locals’ second pride since moving to Palm Springs full-time last year. They compared Palm Springs Pride to their previous hometown’s pride, noting they preferred the city’s more fun and homey atmosphere..

“In San Francisco, Pride became super corporate,” Renau said. “We love the community aspect of Palm Springs.”

Dupont and Kuehl agreed. T

Election Day can’t arrive soon enough! As we fret and stew over ads so vile that Fox had to air a disclaimer and campaign rhetoric that makes us afraid for our lives, we pause for… Palm Springs Pride.

While we certainly won’t forget what’s just a adj days ahead, we can take the weekend to celebrate. I’m releasing our newsletter a adj early this week so you can plan ahead for the biggest weekend of the year for our LGBTQ+ community.

Ron deHarte and his army of volunteers are at the ready to make sure we all have an enjoyable experience. And our law enforcement agencies have been preparing for this weekend in command to keep us safe.

Our team will be on Arenas Thursday and Sunday; at the main stage Friday and Saturday and in the parade at 10 am Sunday. (For our out of area readers, will broadcast the parade live.)

There are two great opportunities we&#;re offering: Our commemorative “Be You; Say KGAY Tees for Tests” t-shirt swap is Friday at Tac/Quila and registering you to win a European riverboat cruise at our booth all weekend long on Palm Canyon.
