Dinah Shore Weekend

Dinah Shore Weekend, popularly shortened to "The Dinah," is a multi-day festival and getaway in Palm Springs, California, catering primarily to queer women, non-binary people, and the broader LGBTQ+ community. It grew out of the crowds who gathered around the Dinah Shore golf tournament, which had drawn lesbians to the desert since the 1970s. In 1991 promoter Mariah Hanson launched the official Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend as its own event, and it became one of the oldest and largest lesbian gatherings anywhere. The weekend centers on pool parties, live music and DJ sets, and nightlife, typically hosted at Palm Springs resorts. It draws attendees from around the world each year.
