For over two decades, the Palm Springs leather community has welcomed the world to our desert paradise each year in the Fall, when temperatures are dropping elsewhere but where we still enjoy the sun and warm weather.
Today, Palm Springs Leather Pride Weekend is one of our city’s most popular LGBT events and one of the largest, longest-running, and most successful Leather events in the country.
This year, we are working hard to bring you a weekend packed with events to make your time with us the high point of your year, starting on Thursday, October 26th and ending on Sunday, October 29th.
Our CLIMAX: VIP Package includes admission to all the events, a commemorative t-shirt, a run pin, the Official Leather Dinner Party and Auction at Hotel ZOSO in Palm Springs, and line jumper pass at all events.
Our PENETRATION: VIP Package includes admission to all the events with the exception of the Official Leather Dinner Party and Auction.
Individual tickets, as well as t-shirts and commemorative merchandise, can be purchased online for each and every event on the Palm Springs Leather Pride 2023 calendar.
