Palm Springs Leather Pride 2011

Since back in the ‘90s when we hosted our first “Sweating Bullets” Run, Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert has invited Leatherfolk from around the world to gather in our Desert Oasis each November for a hot, sexy weekend celebration of Leather/Fetish fellowship and fun. Today, Palm Springs Leather Pride is one of our city’s most popular LGBT events and one of the largest, longest-running, and most successful Leather/Fetish Events in Southern California. Our 2010 event saw attendees from 26 states and 4 countries!

This year start your weekend with us at Hunters Nightclub for the annual Meet and Greet where you can get an up close and personal look at our contestants and cruse/dance the night away.  You can pick up your weekend packages starting at 6 pm and the festivities start at 9 pm.  It's free and open to the public, no ticket necessary.

The weekend continues on Friday night with another Leather Pride tradition, our Formal Leather Dinner. This year’s event will again be held at a stunning location that's Leather friendly

Because of capacity restrictions, dinner tickets are reserved for VIP Weekend Package Holders only. Even though we’re able to accommodate 250 (50 more than last year), we’ve no doubt that the event will sell out! If you’d like to attend, be sure to register today!  Last year we got rave reviews on the food, the fun and the atmosphere!

This year we’re continuing our focus on camaraderie and fun with one of everyone’s favorite events, Friday night’s Tool Shed Backlot Party. For one night only Tool Shed will transform their rear parking lot into an outdoor bar and vendor market.  This year enjoy an extended bar service, great music and a fantastic market of Southern California’s finest leather and fetish goods. Join hundreds of hot men for hard cruising, great refreshments and singular shopping.

Saturday continue the fun with an afternoon Cigar/Pipe Smoker, complete with BBQ, special drink prices for tag holders and cigars on sale by Maximus at DIGS Bar.   Saturday evening join us for our centerpiece event, Recon's Mr. Palm Springs Leather Contest, followed by the Victory Dark Dance, held at the beautiful Palm Springs Convention Center.

Sunday you can relax as you join us at Helios Resort for a BBQ/Pool Party and Soaked T-Shirt Contest sponsored by Elbow Grease.

Your VIP Weekend Package includes admission to all ticketed events, plus a commemorative T-shirt, collectible dog tags and a run pin. It’s over $150 worth of tickets and merchandise, yours for the special price of only $99. Virtually no other leather event in the country offers as much value for your money!

Add it all up and you get a full, yet laid-back schedule that’s sure to entice and entertain!

As is our tradition, Leather Pride will once again be held on the weekend following the Greater Palm Springs Pride Festival so that guests who wish to make an extended vacation to Palm Springs may enjoy both celebrations. Please consider joining us for a wonderful week in our Desert Valley Oasis.

We hope that you’ll take some time to explore our website and learn more about the great weekend that’s in store! Then register, grab your gear and head to the Desert! We can’t wait to welcome you to Leather Pride!

In Fellowship and Leather Pride,
