White Party Palm Springs 2023
Taking place May 12-14 in Palm Springs, California, this iconic weekend attracts thousands of attendees from around the world and has become a cornerstone of the LGBTQ+ community. This year, the festival is being reimagined to offer a more modern, fresh, and innovative experience and features a lineup of top-tier talent and entertainment, including world-renowned DJs, live performances, and more.
This year’s festivities promise to be grander, more daring and exude an unparalleled thrill like never seen before. Dylan Mulvaney, an actress, content creator, and advocate for transgender rights, will be honored as the 2023 ‘Queen of White Party’ at Saturday night’s WHITE OUT event. Mulvaney, who received the prestigious TikTok Trailblazer award in 2022, has not only shattered barriers but also inspired a younger generation to accept and celebrate diversity.
The weekend kicks off with the return of SOAKED! This popular pool party series features an all-new stage design but the same unforgettable experience with private loungers, thirst-quenching signature White Party drinks and services, state-of-the-art sound and video, steamy go-go boys, and a sizzling lineup of global DJs, including Jeremy Dava (Mexico), Marti Frieson (Houston), Liza Rodriguez (Brazil), Jace M (Miami), and Nick Stracener (Dallas). Saturday’s SOAKED! party will feature a special fashion show by White Party Palm Springs 2023 sponsor Garçon.
Friday night kicks off with a bang with “FLUIDITY.” This unique celebration embraces and honors the vibrance and influence of the House Ballroom and Drag Scene. The night will feature dazzling ballroom battles, drag performances, and house beats by DJs Dan Slater (Australia) and Tom Stephan (U.K.), among others.
Then brace yourself for a winter wonderland at “WHITEOUT” on Saturday night. The Palm Springs Convention Center is set to be blanketed in a blizzard of epic proportions, complete with stunning state-of-the-art staging, sound, and lighting – and even chilling snow and ice FXs to help guests cool down in the desert heat. Get ready to dance the night away with DJs Shane Marcus (USA), Mor Avrahami (Israel), and GSP (Greece) at the main event.
On Sunday, the world-famous White Party T-Dance. “ORBIT” reimagines T-Dance as an extra-terrestrial spacecraft landing on the “Stranger Springs” desert floor. State-of-the-art sound, lighting, video, and recently “abducted” White Party dancers will be on the stage all night long. For the first time ever spinning together, DJs Dawna Montell, Manny Lehman, and Tony Moran will lead you through time and space, culminating in an epic fireworks and video display with a final surprise that has never been seen in the Palm Springs desert.
Robin S, CeCe Peniston, Inaya Day, and Crystal Waters will each bring their electrifying vocals to Sunday’s iconic, world-famous White Party T-Dance taking place on May 14th.
