White Party Global Palm Springs will be a memorable experience with friends and acquaintances reconnecting for a much-needed weekend of fun following the two-year COVID-19 global health pandemic.

Blige, Ariana Grande, and Lady Gaga performed, proving incredible energy, excitement, and lasting memories.
Jeffrey Sanker’s Incredible Legacy
White Party was founded by LA-based legendary event creator and producer Jeffrey Sanker. For over three decades he produced the longest-running gay events around the world, including White Party Palm Springs, New Year’s Eve celebrations in Los Angeles, Miami, Rio de Janiero, One Mighty Party at Gay Day’s Orlando, and White Party Puerto Vallarta.
In addition to establishing a line-up of memorable, signature events designed for the gay community, Jeffrey Sanker played an important role in transforming Palm Springs from a quiet, desert resort town into a bustling gay mecca known for its inclusion, community building, and decadence.
Sadly, Jeffrey Sanker passed away in May 2021; however, his legacy will live on through the continuation of the new White Party Global event series.
“It is an honour to continue White Party Palm Springs for my dear friend Jeffrey,” said White Party Global Executive Producer Chris Diamond. “As we move forward with his vision of inclusion, diversity, and decadence, we are truly excited to once again showcase new dance music trends, global DJs, recording artists, state-of-the-art sound & visuals – and most importantly, our returning guests… beautiful men from all over the world!”

There’s so much to love about White Party but my favorite part is meeting new people and seeing old friends. The events there are always something to look forward to.
Life is artistically amazing when you really think about it. I find myself consistently in awe of something and that is likely because I’ve always enjoyed observing people and people make art and are art. Nowadays, and with all the social sites out there, everyone acts like they’re on stage and that’s because the human race has evolved into a stronger awareness that we are all here contributing something and that is because actually – WE ALL ARE HERE CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING! Art comes from “people.” What I love most about White Party Palm Springs is that it brilliantly and artistically brings people together from all over the world to celebrate our existence and our contributions. It’s become a huge symbol to the world and it is an incredible way to show ALL people that we are here.
I truly love White Party Palm Springs because it is an exceptional, symbolic, event to celebrate our beautiful existence here on Earth.
White Party is the best way to kickstart your summer! Everyone is there to let their hair down and have a fun time which makes it easy to meet new friends and gather with old ones from all over. Production is amazing and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for WP 2022!! See you homos there
White party is special because it’s a chance for our community to let loose from all the pressures of existing in our various political landscapes. It’s a chance for us to come together and recognize eachother for the struggle of living, and to enjoy lifes splendors as one.

From my first year attending in 2013, I knew I was going to be a regular attendee. Living in PS now, what I love most about WP is the diverse gathering of people from all across the world – meeting new friends that will last a lifetime!! I can’t wait for this year!!
Love the music and just the whole vibe, perfect experience and escape. Getting to meet people from all over the world, just being around the community.
I’ve never had the opportunity to go to White Party bc I cant afford it but I’ve heard only good things. Whether it’s the diverse & loving community of people that the event attracts, throwing down daily, making new friends, or catching up on last nights events over brunch – this party is the place to BE!
I am hoping to attend this year’s event. It will be my 1st White Party event as well as 1st trip to Palm Springs.
I love how White Party masterfully unites people from all over through music and entertainment. It is truly liberating celebrating with everyone and experiencing the high production value at all of the events. So excited it’s finally back!
It’s my first time attending White Party Palm Springs and so far what I like about it is that a lot of my friends are attending as well. Friends that I haven’t seen in a while from different parts of the country. I like that this event is so we’ll know that people literally make a “pilgrimage” to here. I’m excited about the new people I’ll meet and overall excited to dress up and dress down! The line up looks amazing and the commentary I’ve heard online and offline speaks volumes. Can’t wait!
So excited I’d love to go
What I love the most about White Party Palm Springs is fact that I always have so much fun there, and make a lot of new friends, because the vibe is that everybody’s there just to have a good time, so everybody’s happy and looking good, and the boys are pretty 😉
The White Party Palm Springs is the best circuit party in California because the music and DJs are awesome, the vibe is perfect, the party structure is incredible, everybody is dressed up flawlessly and the boys are gorgeous! ❤️
I love to dance, I love circuit music and the fun and free way in which we celebrate our life and pride. It would be my first time at the White Party. Excited, it would be a wonderful experience. Give everything❤️
I would love to go to the party because I love circuit music…I don’t know and I would like to know…I have been living here in the US for a short time and my dream is to be able to dance for you…and belong to this great party that is recognized worldwide…

This will be my first and long awaited White Party and I look forward to becoming part of the the legacy. What I love most about these festivals is that it feels like finally coming home.
I love reuniting with our community in an epic dance event, dancing to the best international djs and alongside the hottest men under the desert sun. I can’t wait to go if I win!
The White party in Palm Springs, is like a mythical creature to which all gay men wish to find. From first hearing of it to seeing videos in my youth, I have always wanted to attend this celebration of Love and Pride in who I am. Being able to attend/win would be such a highlight of my gay life! Fringes-crossed 🤞
