Info

White Party Palm Springs 2022 takes place from the 28th April to the 1st May 2022.

White Party Palm Springs is the largest gay circuit party in the United States and typically attracts more than 30,000 attendees during the Coachella Valley's spring season.

Traditionally, the party takes place over three days from Friday to Sunday with a series of pool and dance parties. The weekend usually kicks off with a theme party on Friday night. On Saturday, guests are encouraged to dress in white. White Party also features internationally renowned DJs and music artists. Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga performed in recent years.

The L.A.-based promoter helped make Palm Springs the gay-friendly city it is now. When he launched the Palm Springs White Party in 1990, many states still enforced anti-sodomy laws. The event turned into one of the biggest gay circuit parties in the world.

"Jeffrey Sanker was the person who brought the big numbers to town," Craig Prater, former director of the Palm Springs International Film Festival, previously told the Desert Sun. "He filled hotels, restaurants with great numbers. As a result, gay men came back to the desert because of their fun at Jeffrey's events."
