Palm Springs Pride Parade takes over Palm Canyon Drive

An array of rainbow flags floated down Palm Canyon Blvd for the greater Palm Springs pride Sunday.

The mayor of Palm Springs, Grace Garner, was all smiles as she waved to locals and thousands of visitors.

The theme for this year was Drag Now, Drag Forever.

Pride officials made Gypsy a grand marshall. Also Trixie Mattel, & Ethylina Canne.

Crowds cheered, danced, and celebrated pride in the Coachella Valley. "It's like everyone coming together, all races, genders, everything," says Elyanne Cavelier. "It is wonderful."
"I feel like the very high energy vibe and compared to what we were experiencing in the Bay Area," says Mark Mueller. "This is just amazing. I'm so happy to be here."

Greater Palm Springs Pride officials say more than 225 organizations, agencies, and businesses were a part of this year’s pride. Participants were in cars, on floats, and on foot.
"We're having a great time," says Barb Postian. "It's great to see everybody out. The crowd, It's perfect. It's really fun."

The 10 a.m. parade continued for nearly two hours running along Tachevah and Palm Canyon Drive, traveled south through downtown, and ended at the entrance to the pride festival at Amado.
