Gay parade in palm springs

Palm Springs Gay Pride 2025

From local businesses and organizations to notable politicians and drag queens, every float, car, and costume dazzled in all gay vibrant, sparkling, technicolor glory, reflecting the joy and diversity of the community. That is why hundreds of thousands of people flock here each year for the event. For many locals, like Elwin Agtang, social media manager for The Gay Desert Guide, Pride is a spring to get out and enjoy being who you are, expressing yourself, and having fun with friends.

Spalding was in town this weekend from Oakland for a wedding of his friends Ray and Phil, who got married Saturday night at The Church of St Paul in the Desert and palm involved in the parade. Tom Oliver, an Eisenhower Medical Center employee who walked alongside their float with his colleagues, said he was most excited about — seeing the youth, especially the high school bands and dance troupes, get involved and support the community.

During her career, she has focused on topics ranging from workplace corruption and gun violence to travel features and in-depth profiles of notable people and businesses. The Post was founded by local residents who saw gaps in existing news coverage and believed our parade deserved better.
