PS Leather Pride Official Party 2026
Enjoy the biggest night of the PS Leather Pride at The Official Dungeon/Play Party on Saturday.
PS Leather Pride Official Party, 2026
Get ready for Saturday Night’s PS Leather Pride Official Party, with a strict dress code, hot guys and lots of place spaces.
- Stay close to all of Palm Spring’s top attractions and gay bars at The Kimpton Rowan, featuring a year-round outdoor pool, picturesque rooms with floor to ceiling windows and luxury amenities.
The Party
- Next Edition: Saturday, October 31, 2026 . GET TICKETS
- GO DEEP! is the Official Dungeon & Play Party of Palm Springs Leather Pride, taking over The Catacombs at Hotel Zoso from 9pm until 2am on Halloween night.
- This is a play party, not a conventional dance party. The emphasis is on cruising, kink and making use of the dungeon rather than standing around a dance floor waiting for a headline DJ.
- Anticipate leather men, daddies, cubs and fetish guys arriving after the Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2027 Contest, which finishes upstairs at Hotel Zoso at 9pm.
- The Catacombs are transformed into dedicated dungeon and play spaces for the night, giving the party a darker and far more hands-on atmosphere than the daytime Leather Pride events.
- Halloween falling on the Saturday adds another dimension to the dress code, but this is fetish Halloween rather than fancy dress. Leather, harnesses, rubber and serious gear fit the night far better than a conventional costume.
- GO DEEP! requires a separate ticket and is not included in the main Leather Pride packages. Door admission is $60, subject to availability.
- If GO DEEP! is your priority, staying at Hotel Zoso makes the night particularly easy: the Leather Pride contest finishes in the same hotel just as the dungeon party begins.
- Stay at The Drift Hotel in Downtown Palm Springs, an easy walk from many of the city’s landmarks featuring spacious suites and studios, beautiful swimming pool, private cabanas and an all-day eatery.
The Venue – The Catacombs at Hotel Zoso
- Hotel Zoso – 150 South Indian Canyon Drive, Downtown Palm Springs.
- The Catacombs are Hotel Zoso’s lower-level event spaces, transformed for Leather Pride into the setting for the weekend’s adult play events.
- GO DEEP! follows BATE on Thursday night, another men-focused event using The Catacombs, before the space is reworked for Saturday’s main dungeon party.
- Hotel Zoso is the host hotel for Palm Springs Leather Pride 2026, putting registration, community events, the title contest and GO DEEP! under one roof.
- The location is excellent for the rest of the weekend. Arenas Road is a short walk away, so you can move between the host hotel and Palm Springs’ main gay bar district without relying on a car.
Before GO DEEP!
Saturday is the busiest day of Palm Springs Leather Pride, with several events leading directly into the dungeon party.
Time Event Venue / Details Saturday 31st October 2026 12pm-5pm PLUNGE 2 CCBC Resort – The second clothing-optional pool party with access to the resort’s pool and play spaces. 2pm-4pm UNLEASHED Chill Bar – Pup and pet-play party on Arenas Road. 2pm-4pm BDSM Demo & Learning Lab Dick’s on Arenas – Afternoon kink demonstrations and learning sessions. 6pm-9pm Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2027 Contest Hotel Zoso – Main title contest, including the inaugural Mr. Palm Springs Bootblack competition. 7pm-1am Dark Alley Marketplace Tool Shed – Leather and fetish vendors, drinks and the Leather Pride crowd. 9pm-2am GO DEEP! The Catacombs at Hotel Zoso – Official Palm Springs Leather Pride Dungeon & Play Party. Gay Palm Springs Before the Party
If you’re not attending the contest, Arenas Road is the easiest place to start before returning to Hotel Zoso for GO DEEP!.
- Hunters Palm Springs – 302 E Arenas Road. One of the busiest gay bars in the district, with a large bar and dance floor. It hosts the Official Leather Pride Welcome Party earlier in the weekend.
- Dick’s on Arenas – 301 E Arenas Road. Men-focused bar with a stronger leather and fetish edge than several of its neighbours and host of the weekend’s BDSM Learning Labs.
- Chill Bar – 217 E Arenas Road. Large indoor/outdoor gay bar and home of Saturday afternoon’s UNLEASHED pup and pet-play event.
- Streetbar – 224 E Arenas Road. Long-running neighbourhood gay bar that works well for a drink before moving back to Hotel Zoso.
- Tool Shed – 600 E Sunny Dunes Road. Palm Springs’ longstanding leather and Levi bar. Saturday’s Dark Alley Marketplace runs until 1am, making it the natural alternative or companion event to GO DEEP!.
Where to Stay
For GO DEEP!, Downtown Palm Springs is the right base. Hotel Zoso puts you directly above the party, with Arenas Road a short walk away.
- Hotel Zoso – The clear first choice for this event. GO DEEP! takes place downstairs in The Catacombs, and the Mr. Palm Springs Leather contest is held in the hotel immediately beforehand.
- Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs – Upscale Downtown option close to Hotel Zoso and Arenas Road, with a rooftop pool and easy access to the centre of town.
- Descanso Resort – Men’s clothing-optional resort for visitors who want a gay-focused stay and pool scene during Leather Pride.
- Browse hotels in Palm Springs – Focus on Downtown and the area around Arenas Road for easy access to Hotel Zoso and the Leather Pride nightlife.
Palm Springs Leather Pride Weekend
- GO DEEP! is the main Saturday-night play event during Palm Springs Leather Pride, running from Thursday 29th October to Sunday 1st November 2026 under the VALHALLA theme.
- The wider weekend includes PLUNGE at CCBC, Dark Alley at Tool Shed, BATE, UNLEASHED, BDSM workshops, the Mr. Palm Springs Leather contest and Sunday’s Victory Party. If you’re travelling primarily for GO DEEP!, arrive by Friday so you can experience the daytime pool and leather events before Saturday night’s dungeon party.
