40th Annual Palm Springs Pride Nov. 6-8 in Riverside County, California: Free Three-Stage Festival and Nov. 8 Parade at 10 A.M. on Palm Canyon Drive
Palm Springs, a city in Riverside County, California, will host the 40th annual Palm Springs Pride celebration from November 6 to 8. Organizer Greater Palm Springs Pride says this year's theme is "Be Included," with the festival spanning downtown Palm Springs and the Arenas District across three stages, completely free and open to the public with no tickets required.
Headliners for the 40th anniversary edition are recording artist Aubrey O'Day and country supergroup The Cowgays, featuring Adam Mac, Brooke Eden and Chris Housman. Across the three days, the stages will present live music, drag entertainment, DJs and special performances, alongside a marketplace of more than 200 exhibitors, community organization booths and nightly block parties. Festival hours are 3 to 11:30 p.m. on November 6, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on November 7, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 8.
The weekend culminates in the Pride Parade on Sunday, November 8, stepping off at 10 a.m. from Tachevah and Palm Canyon Drive in the Uptown Design District, traveling south through downtown to the festival entrance at Amado, in a procession expected to last about two hours. The 2026 grand marshals include National Grand Marshal Fortune Feimster, Celebrity Grand Marshal Cheyenne Jackson, Community Grand Marshal Gary Moline, and Marsha P. Johnson Grand Marshal Kataluna Enriquez. A Deaf Pride reviewing stand north of Amado Road on Palm Canyon Drive offers sign-language interpretation, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cost and how to attend: The festival and parade are entirely free and accessible to the public, with no reservation or admission ticket required. Greater Palm Springs Pride is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization, and the City of Palm Springs is a presenting sponsor providing city services and logistical support. Schedules and updates are posted at pspride.org, and the parade will be broadcast live on CW 5 and streamed on KESQ.com beginning at 10 a.m. on November 8.
