WHITE PARTY BACK IN 1999 (annual)
April 1-5 1999

The Palm Springs White Party is by far the biggest Gay Circuit event of them all, and in 1998 over 22,000 well-trained, slim, muscular, gorgeous young men gathered in town to party incessantly for four days and nights during the Easter holiday. This year, the Tenth Annual White Party is certain to exceed any previous numbers, and the whole center of town will be overwhelmingly dominated by us. Five "regular" hotels in the center of town are fully reserved for the White Party: the Wyndham, the Marquis, La Mancha Villa, the Marriott Courtyard, and the Comfort Inn. But every gay (and not-so-gay) hotel is fast filling up with our bookings.

Party Schedule
Thursday 9 PM - Friday 3 AM: Welcome Party (Marquis Ballroom)
Friday 9 PM - Saturday 4 AM: Mardi Gras Masquerade (Wyndham Ballroom)
Saturday 3 - 7 AM: Foreplay After Hours Party (Amnesia)
Saturday 9 PM - Sunday 4 AM: The White Party (Convention Center)
Sunday 4 - 10 AM: Climax 5: After Hours Party (Wyndham Ballroom)
Sunday 4 - 9 PM: Outdoor Sunset Tea Dance (Marquis Tennis Courts)
Sunday 9 PM - Monday 4 AM: Closing Party (Wyndham Ballroom)
In addition, parties are scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday 11 AM - 5 PM at the pools at both the Wyndham and the Marquis. During these days, all gay establishments will swing with parties of all kinds.
