By Indie La Roux | Where glam lives and the vibes never die

Palm Springs is poppin’ off this weekend, besties — and if you're not booked and busy by Friday night, what are you even doing? Whether you're serving glam at a drag show, sweating it out with your wellness girlies, or sipping mimosas like a main character, this is your guide to living your most iconic desert life.

Grab your sunnies, fluff your lashes, and let’s get into it.

1. Lips, Looks & Lashes Drag Show

Toucan’s Tiki Lounge Friday, September 19 | Shows at 8PM & 10PM (Seating at 7PM)

Hosted by: Jazmin “The People’s Queen” Simone Featuring: Dani K, Nebur Styles, Azara Sings

Start your weekend with a high-glam, high-drama drag extravaganza at the legendary Toucan’s. You’ll gag on the looks, live for the lip syncs, and leave fully recharged with main character energy. This isn’t just a show—it’s a full-blown queendom. Reserve early or risk being left on read.

2. Tap Into Wellness

Indio Tap House Saturday, September 20 | 7AM–12PM

Early birds, this one’s for you. Start your Saturday with a sunrise 5K (or just cheer from the sidelines in a cute set—we’re not judging). Expect yoga, strength training, Pilates, live DJs, good eats, local vendors, and allll the positive community vibes.

Vibe Check: Hot girl walk meets wellness warrior with a side of matcha.

3. Glow in the Dark Pickleball Experience

4. Poolside DJ Sessions at the ACE Hotel

Vibe Check: Coachella-core meets chill luxury.

5. Sunday Brunch & Day Party @ Reforma
