Go hiking in the desert, visit the farmer’s market, check out the latest restaurant openings, or party in the gay bars and clubs along buzzing E. Palm Springs is still a fun town for gay travelers on any given day. But don’t fret if you can’t make it to any of those events. It’s a hip oasis for gay travelers with signature LGBTQ events like Pride in November and Dinah Shore in April, a five-day lesbian music festival. Just a few hours drive or train ride away from Los Angeles or San Diego, this Coachella Valley resort town offers warm days all year-long, gorgeous scenery, boutique shops, booming nightlife, and an edgy art scene. Once the old stomping grounds for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, Palm Springs is a superb SoCal getaway for a boy’s only holiday with old Hollywood charm.
