Summer came early for the lesbian community, who flooded Southern California to soak up some rays at an annual five-day festival in Palm Springs that is entirely dedicated to lesbian women, and cultural appreciation.

The Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend has become known as one of the wildest weekends in the lesbian community, and this past weekend's debauched event - the 27th in the festival's history - looks to have been no different.

The long weekend, which takes place just days before the start of the Coachella music fesitval, included pool parties, comedy shows, mixers, and performances from Top Ten artists. Previous years have seen Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, The Pussycat Dolls, Meghan Trainor, and Ke$ha take the main stage.

Originally founded by party promoter Mariah Hanson in 1991, the event, which is better known as 'the Dinah', was named after Dinah Shore, a singer and actress from Hollywood's golden age.

Shore was also the founder of the Kraft Nabisco Golf Championship - an annual tournament also held in Palm Springs.

Queer women who attended this tournament began meeting up each year, and it was from these parties that The Dinah, as its known today, was officially born.

In an interview with BuzzFeed News, founder Mariah explained that, in her mind, the Dinah 'changes people.'

This year's Dinah featured performances from artists like Lizzo, Cece Peniston, and Margeaux, as well as comedy sets from Gina Yashere, and Julie Goldman, among others.

In addition to the pool parties and raging DJ sets, this year's Dinah had a decidedly political undertone.

On Sunday evening, the Dinah hosted a 'Party With A Purpose,' featuring an impassioned 'call to action' from Kate Kendall, the Executive Director of the Center for Lesbian Rights.

Despite questions about the future of the LGBTQ community under the current political administration, the mood remained celebratory.

'There is a unity here and a solidarity here — a belief in the collective expression of who you are,' Hanson told BuzzFeed. 'You are accepted here and celebrated here.'
