If you haven’t heard about The Dinah (haven’t you seen The L Word??), you won’t want to miss out this year. The largest lesbian party in the world is returns for its 30th year in April for 5 days of pool parties, celesbian meet and greets, and nonstop fun. Need some convincing beyond sunshine, swan shaped pool floaties, and booze? We got you.





Before we dive into that: don't forget to enter to win

a pair of tickets to the Saturday night red carpet event!













Is It Worth The Cost?

Hell yeah! The Festival Pass gets you into all 7 parties for just $250. That’s 1/2 the price of Coachella while being 500% more gay! If you can’t afford the full pass or don’t think you can handle 4 days of partying they offer tickets to each party individually. Either way you’ll be a beautiful city with tons of history, cool shops and world class restaurants, it’s a win win!









What Are The Parties Like?





Why Should I Go This Year?

Consider it a trial run for summer and there’s no time like the present. Plus, we don’t get a lot of sun in the Bay. Let’s face it, you worked hard all year, where better than to start your base tan than Palm Springs? All you Instagram influencers can get a head start on the Coachella crowds because you were there first! #LivingMyBestLife

You’ll be surrounded by thousands of lesbians. Yes you read that right: thousands. Queer DJs and performers keep the energy high and you wouldn’t be surprised to catch a few celebs hanging out. If you go a little HAM the night before you’re just as welcome to chill in the sun and enjoy the poolside performances with a bloody mary in hand. As for night parties...let’s just say you have to be there to find out, but who doesn’t love a good surprise or two?
