Greater Palm Springs Pride has officially announced the honorees for the 2026 Pride Honors Awards. The awards celebrate individuals and organizations whose dedication, advocacy, and leadership have made a lasting impact on the LGBTQ+ community across the Coachella Valley and beyond.

This year’s ceremony carries special significance as Palm Springs marks the 40th Anniversary of Pride, a legacy sparked in 1986 when the Desert Business Association helped lay the foundation for the region's first Pride celebration.

🌈 This week, our rainbow lights are for Dolly.

We usually light City Hall in rainbow for Pride Month and our annual Cathedral City LGBT+ Days. This week, we’re lighting it for Dolly Parton, who passed away Tuesday at 80.

She spent six decades telling everybody — no exceptions, no conditions — that they were welcome exactly as they came. That kind of inclusivity is what Cathedral City is built on, and we know exactly what it’s worth.

Thank you, Dolly. 💕
