Here's everything we know for the exciting annual event taking place in the desert this May.
Today, White Party Global (WPG) announces the return of the White Party Palm Springs 2023. Taking place May 12-14 in Palm Springs, California, this iconic weekend attracts thousands of attendees from around the world and has become a cornerstone of the LGBTQ+ community. This year, the festival is being reimagined to offer a more modern, fresh, and innovative experience and features a lineup of top-tier talent and entertainment, including world-renowned DJs, live performances, and more.
“It is once again an honor to announce our 2023 events as WP Weekend moves forward into a modern and reimagined format,” says Chris Diamond, White Party Global Executive Producer. “WP 2023" has been carefully curated for all of our returning attendees including our new party guests we welcomed in 2022…As we continue to grow, we are focused on keeping up with new trends in dance music, showcasing award-winning recording artists, and continuing to present new themes & specialty acts as our number one priority. It’s what our guests deserve. It truly is going to blow everyone away…See you all on the dance floor!”
The weekend kicks off with the return of SOAKED! This popular pool party series features an all-new stage design but the same unforgettable experience with private loungers, thirst-quenching signature White Party drinks and services, state-of-the-art sound and video, steamy go-go boys, and a sizzling lineup of global DJs, including Jeremy Dava (Mexico), Marti Frieson (Houston), Liza Rodriguez (Brazil), Jace M (Miami), and Nick Stracener (Dallas). Saturday’s SOAKED! party will feature a special fashion show by White Party Palm Springs 2023 sponsor Garçon.
Friday night kicks off with a bang with “FLUIDITY.” This unique celebration embraces and honors the vibrance and influence of the House Ballroom and Drag Scene. The night will feature dazzling ballroom battles, drag performances, and house beats by DJs Dan Slater (Australia) and Tom Stephan (U.K.), among others.
Then brace yourself for a winter wonderland at “WHITEOUT” on Saturday night. The Palm Springs Convention Center is set to be blanketed in a blizzard of epic proportions, complete with stunning state-of-the-art staging, sound, and lighting – and even chilling snow and ice FXs to help guests cool down in the desert heat. Get ready to dance the night away with DJs Shane Marcus (USA), Mor Avrahami (Israel), and GSP (Greece) at the main event.
On Sunday, the world-famous White Party T-Dance. “ORBIT” reimagines T-Dance as an extra-terrestrial spacecraft landing on the “Stranger Springs” desert floor. State-of-the-art sound, lighting, video, and recently “abducted” White Party dancers will be on the stage all night long. For the first time ever spinning together, DJs Dawna Montell, Manny Lehman, and Tony Moran will lead you through time and space, culminating in an epic fireworks and video display with a final surprise that has never been seen in the Palm Springs desert.
The weekend culminates in a high-energy climax with “ESCAPE" on Sunday night. As soon as “ORBIT” ends, DJs Phil Romano (Italy) and Micky Friedmann (Germany) will take the reins and keep the beats flowing into the morning. Get ready to dance until you can dance no more at “ESCAPE,” the perfect way to cap off White Party Weekend.
Additional special guests will be unveiled within the coming months. In addition to special guests, WPG will be hosting warm-up parties leading up to White Party Palm Springs 2023.
