SQUAD MAGAZINE EXCLUSIVE
Top 5 Things To Do In Palm Springs This Weekend
By Indi LaRoux
Palm Springs was already heating up — but then Miss Britney Jean Spears said “nope” to her sushi date, flashed some cheek (literally ), and yeeted herself out the bathroom like it was Toxic 2004 VMAs energy. And honestly? Mood.
This weekend, we’re channeling that same “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet Interested in Wasabi” chaos and curating the ultimate escape itinerary. Whether you’re ditching a date, dodging paparazzi, or just vibing with your crew, this list is giving Pop Princess Freedom Tour all weekend long.
Friday, Sept 12 – “Stronger Than Yesterday”
Dive-In Movie at Paradise Pool – Riviera Hotel
Forget drive-ins, babe, we’re dive-ins now. The Riviera’s Paradise Pool is throwing a late-night splash fest with a screening of Grease, because obviously we’re hopelessly devoted to Danny Zuko and poolside cocktails.
Vibe Check: Floating under stars, sipping a spicy marg, whispering “this is what you’d never get with Brad from Bumble.”
Tip: Stalk @RivieraPS on Insta for showtimes and tickets.
Saturday, Sept 13 – “Gimme More… Electrolytes”
Drips + Sips at Café La Jefa x DSRTDripIVClub
Start your Saturday hydrated AF. Buy a latte from Café La Jefa (bonus: cutest aesthetic ever), and get 15% off an IV drip from DSRTDripIVClub. That’s caffeine + hydration = no sushi regret hangover.
When: 8am-12pm
Where: 750 N Palm Canyon Dr
Mood: Giving “Piece of Me” but make it wellness influencer.
Friday Night, Sept 12 – “Boys… Sometimes a Girl Just Needs One”
Thunder From Down Under – Morongo Casino
Britt ditched the sushi date, but imagine if she ended up here instead 👀. The Temptation Tour is turning Morongo into a full-on Aussie thirst trap. Expect abs, accents, and enough body rolls to cure heartbreak.
Doors: 7PM
Show: 8PM
Tix: On Morongo's site
Dress Code: Something scandalous with a seat you can clutch.
Saturday Night, Sept 13 – “Outrageous... When I Art Like That”
Alien Robot Museum Art Walk – Joshua Tree
Okay but like, Britney totally gives intergalactic fashion. Join 12 local artists, live music, and wild AF sculptures at this Joshua Tree night fest. It’s giving Mars Needs Women, but make it Euphoria.
Time: 6–9PM
Where: Art Queen + Hi Desert Women spaces
Vibe: “If U Seek Amy” meets Area 51 aesthetic.
Sunday, Sept 14 – “Work B**ch” Brunch
Morgan McMichaels Iconic Sundays Drag Brunch – One Eleven Cathedral City
Round out your Britney-core weekend with the ICONIC Morgan McMichaels + a stacked lineup of queens. This ain’t your mama’s brunch — it’s “Oops!... I Drank It Again” realness with bottomless mimosas and top-tier lip syncs.
Doors: 11AM
Show: 12PM sharp
RSVP: On @oneelevencc IG
Mood: Get your phone out – you're filming the whole thing.
TL;DR:
If you’re gonna run out of a sushi date with your booty out and no regrets, you better follow it up with a weekend this iconic. Britney said “give me, give me MORE,” and Palm Springs delivered.
So pack your glitter, charge your phone, and keep your bathroom escape plan ready — you never know when you'll need it.
