Cathedral City’s signature Pride celebration is gearing up for a milestone 10th anniversary, and DAP Health’s Stonewall Medical Center has signed on as Platinum Sponsor for the three-day event taking place March 6-8, 2026.
As California’s first Pride celebration of the year, Cathedral City LGBT+ Days has become a cherished tradition in the Coachella Valley, blending activism, art, and celebration in a welcoming desert setting. The 2026 event promises to honor a decade of visibility, community, and pride with an expanded lineup of programming.
A Powerful Partnership
“Cathedral City LGBT+ Days is more than just a festival—it’s a powerful reminder of the city’s legacy of inclusion and a joyful way to kick off Pride season across the state,” said Michael Westman, Marketing Manager of Montage Agency, which produces the event. “More than ever, our community must come together to amplify our individual voices. We welcome everyone within the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies to join in the weekend of celebration and reflection.”
