White Party Palm Springs Guide: 2025–26 Update
Event Overview
Even though White Party Palm Springs is taking a break for 2025, the festival’s legacy as the premier LGBTQ+ dance celebration remains strong. The 2024 edition drew thousands of attendees for three days of high-energy events, including themed dance parties, live performances by top DJs, and poolside gatherings under the desert sun. Typically hosted in late March, the White Party blends music, fashion and community, transforming Palm Springs into a weekend-long celebration of diversity and inclusion.
2025-26 Status & Future Plans
As confirmed by organizers and local news outlets, there will be no White Party Palm Springs in 2025. Producers have hinted at a potential return in 2026 but have yet to announce dates or details. Keep an eye on the official White Party channels for updates; we’ll share news as soon as plans solidify. In the meantime, consider exploring alternative events and festivals that capture a similar spirit.
Alternatives & Related Events
If you’re craving a glamorous dance experience while White Party is on hiatus, here are a few options to consider:
Global White Party Events: White Party Global hosts satellite parties in destinations like Bangkok and Puerto Vallarta. These events feature similar high-energy dance floors and themed parties.
Local Palm Springs Festivals: Palm Springs is home to exciting events year-round, including Modernism Week (February), the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (April), and the Palm Springs International Film Festival (January). Each offers its own blend of art, music and desert fun.

Tips for Party-Goers
While you wait for White Party’s return, here are some tips to make the most of future dance festivals and desert gatherings:
Plan ahead: Popular events sell out quickly. Book tickets and accommodations as soon as dates are announced.
Stay hydrated: Desert weather can be hot and dry. Drink plenty of water and wear sun protection when attending daytime pool parties.
Dress to impress: Themed attire is a big part of the White Party ethos. Get creative with white outfits, glitter and accessories that match the event’s vibe.
Explore beyond the dance floor: Take time to enjoy Palm Springs’ other attractions, from hiking trails and art museums to local restaurants and boutiques.
