It is a tradition celebrating 20 years. Gay women from all over the world have been gathering in Palm Springs for a week of parties. It’s known as the Dinah Shore Girl Bar Week. The event doesn’t have much to do with golf, even though Shore, who was a golf enthusiast, helped create a golf tournament that is part of LGPA tour.

For nearly a week women from around the world flock to Palm Springs, filling hotels, dining in restaurants, and enjoying parties organized by promoters Sandy Sachs and Robin Gans.

The events begin on March 31. This year the entertainment includes big names like Kelly Rowland, and Orianthi, former guitarist for Michael Jackson. The parties and entertainment happen at two host hotels in Palm Springs; the newly renovated Wyndham which is now a Marriott, and Hotel Zoso.

“The average woman spends $1000 during their visit,” according to Gans. She says many women consider this event as an annual vacation. In previous years the event has attracted as many as 30,000 women, however this year that number is expected to be down. “Because of the economy we’ll probably have 10,000 or 15,000 women, it’s the economy,” says Gans.

The week after the events for the women, Palm Springs hosts the annual White Party Weekend, which generally attracts gay men. Unlike White Party, which is a weekend of non-stop parties, Dinah Shore Girl Bar Week is just that, 5 days of entertainment under the famous Palm Springs sun.

Orianthi, who has recently launched her own career, will perform in the afternoon during a pool party on April 4.

Depending on attendance the event will bring $12 million to the Riverside County desert economy.
