80th and 40th BDs in May

Question

Hi,

Six of us are staying for five nights in May and are looking for a drag brunch or bingo. Unfortunately, we won't be there on the weekend. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer

Palm Springs has a lively LGBTQ+ and entertainment scene, so even on weekdays you can usually find fun events like drag shows, brunches, or bingo. While weekend events are more common, there are still options during the week if you plan ahead.

For your celebration of 80th and 40th birthdays in May, here are some suggestions:

Drag Brunch: Check with Bootlegger Tiki or Tru Hollywood — they sometimes host weekday drag brunches if you book a private group or check their calendar.
Bingo with a Twist: Some local bars or casinos in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage occasionally host weekday bingo nights with entertainment themes. Call ahead to see if they can accommodate a private party for your group.
Private Event Booking: Consider contacting a local drag performer or entertainment company to host a private drag brunch at your Airbnb, hotel, or a restaurant — this is popular for birthdays during weekdays.

Other ideas to complement your celebration:

Book a cocktail or wine tasting experience at a local bar or distillery.
Consider a poolside cabana rental at one of the hotels that offer food and beverage service — you can arrange entertainment or games.
Check if VillageFest has weekday pop-ups or evening entertainment options during your stay, as some venues adjust their events during the week.

Tip: Weekdays in May are less crowded, so booking in advance and possibly arranging private entertainment will ensure you can celebrate both milestone birthdays in style without relying solely on weekend schedules.
