A WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT:
Greetings Leather Folks:
On behalf of The Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert (PSLOD), and the leather community of Palm Springs, I’m excited to welcome you to PS Leather Pride™ 2026, VALHALLA! As always, we have many diverse events scheduled to make your Palm Springs Leather Pride™ experience more memorable than ever. This year we’re calling our celebration VALHALLA, harkening all of you leather vikings and valkyries to come together in the mead hall to celebrate with ferocity and abandon . As we become increasingly more diverse as a community, you will see that we are focused on inclusion and making every effort to extend our reach to as many facets of Kink and Fetish as possible. We encourage you to be curious. Ask questions. Explore, experience and enjoy!
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our generous returning sponsors and welcome our new ones, as well. It takes a village to make a weekend like this. PS Leather Pride™ is the only completely volunteer driven Leather, Kink, and Fetish event in the world. ALL of the monies generated go to support PSLOD and other LGBTQIA+ organizations in our community. That's something we are extremely proud to share with you, and do for you!
This year in particular, we invite you to celebrate and support our diverse and world-wide community. As the storm swirls around us, and we seem increasingly under siege, we need each other more than ever. I think of Leather Pride as part of the glue that keeps our family together, strong and resilient. I look forward to greeting each and every one of you, so stop me if you see me and say hello. And, more than anything, on behalf all the PSLOD family and friends -we want you to have the very best time ever!
Yours in service and respect,
David Dunn
President
Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert
