The Dinah Stays in Queer Hands as a New Chapter Begins
The Dinah the world’s most iconic and longest-running music festival and party for queer women has been sold to longtime Dinah insiders Bella Barkow and Rose Garcia, ensuring the legendary Palm Springs institution remains independently owned, community-led, and deeply rooted in LGBTQ+ culture.
At a moment when so many queer spaces and businesses are being acquired by outside interests, this transition feels especially meaningful. The Dinah isn’t leaving the family. It’s staying exactly where it belongs.
