HANDS ON : A Queer Music & Arts Festival : Palm Springs Events Calendar Swim Club Info

  • HANDS ON : A Queer Music & Arts Festival

    Nov 2 7:00PM // Ace Hotel & Swim Club

    Outsiders have always made groundbreaking art, and queer culture is at the epicenter. HANDS ON brings incredible performers, inspired artists and lots of new and old friends together for a five day celebration of LGBTQ culture in the desert during Palm Springs Pride 2011. Pride includes all walks of life and celebrates freedom, inspiration, flamboyance and joyful resistance to conformity. Join us for bands, DJs and performers from both coasts and everywhere in between for nearly a full week of parties, art and high-soaring creative celebration.

    We'll have Feel Good Spa specials and DIY concoctions from the Amigo Room all weekend, and we have a special Pride package that includes your room at Ace, a welcome bucket of beers and passes to the Palm Springs Pride Festival. Call 760.325.9900 to book.

    Daytime events are included in a $16 daily Swim Club pass, and evening events are free and open to everyone old enough to buy a cocktail.

    Keep an eye out here and on our blog for interviews, videos and other special stuff.
