The Dinah Enters a Bold New Era
After 35 groundbreaking years, The Dinah — the world’s most iconic and longest-running music festival and party for queer women — is stepping into a new chapter.
Founder and producer Mariah Hanson has officially sold the legendary Palm Springs-based event to queer event producer and longtime Dinah Operations Manager Bella Barkow and seasoned Dinah emcee, reality TV personality, and real estate entrepreneur Rose Garcia. The acquisition ensures the festival remains independently owned, community-led, and deeply rooted in LGBTQ+ culture under the newly formed BellaRose Productions.
