Palm Springs is set to welcome thousands of leather, kink, and fetish enthusiasts for the annual Palm Springs Leather Pride, taking place from Thursday, October 30, to Sunday, November 2, 2025.
This year’s event, organized by the all-volunteer Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert (PSLOD), is themed “Deeper Than Ever,” promising a weekend that goes beyond mere revelry to foster a stronger sense of community and purpose.
The event serves as a major fundraiser for LGBTQ+ and community-focused non-profits, with proceeds from the weekend’s events supporting a range of organizations.
The four-day schedule is packed with a mix of signature events and new additions. Highlights include the formal Leather Party and Auction at the host hotel, Hotel ZOSO, where attendees can don their finest gear for a sit-down dinner and a silent and live auction. The hotel will also be the site of the Mr. Palm Springs Leather Contest, where a new titleholder will be chosen to represent the community.
