Palm Springs 2009 Pride Weekend Fly-In PDF Print E-mail
Written by John D   
Wednesday, 10 September 2008

Palm Springs' 2009 Gay Pride weekend was one week after Halloween last year, and Golden Gate Flyers helped celebrate Pride Weekend with a fly-in to PSP.  Below was the planned 2009 Pride Weekend Fly-in agenda: 

FRIDAY, November 6

Evening: 18:30-20:00 Meet and Greet -  No-Host Bar on private upstairs deck at Azul, 369 N. Palm Canyon Dr.
Night: Head out to dinner at your favorite restaurant with old and new friends.

SATURDAY, November 7

Morning: Recover from the previous night; free time or go to the Pride 
Festival, which will have entertainment, booths, food and drink.
Afternoon: 12:00-15:00 BBQ and Pool Party; full bar and BBQ with all the fixin's ($10 requested), at Mike's home.

Evening: 19:30 Dinner at Wang's in the Desert, 424 S. Indian Canyon Dr.  Come early and enjoy their $2 Well Drinks.  Dinner will be $25 sit-down fixed price menu

Night: Hit the bars for that search for Mr./Miss. Wonderful.

SUNDAY, November 8 

Morning: The Parade starts promptly in 10 AM (well, much more promptly than 
in SF), and last no longer than an hour and a half. Those wanting to return to the Bay Area should have plenty of time and daylight to attend the parade and make the flight home.


There are lots of Guesthouses to stay at; although with Pride Weekend it is recommended to book early.  Here are some hotels that are within walking distance of all the downtown action:
Hotel Zoso (ground zero), Hilton Hotel, Hyatt, Best Western Las Brisas (also ground zero), Wyndam Hotel, Comfort Inn and Extended Stay America. The advantage of staying at a hotel vs. a Guesthouse would the ability to cancel several days ahead of time with no penalty.
