Rose Garcia Celebrates a New Era of The Dinah!
Description
Palm Springs is about to get a whole lot more fabulous!
Reality television favorite, entrepreneur, and LGBTQ+ advocate Rose Garcia joins Robert Bannon on The Roundtable to celebrate the next chapter of The Dinah, the legendary music festival and celebration of queer women that has been bringing people together for 35 years.
Best known to audiences from Showtime's The Real L Word, Rose has been part of The Dinah family for decades. Now, alongside longtime festival producer Bella Barkow, she's stepping into an exciting new role as co-owner of the iconic event through their company, BellaRose Productions.
And this year? They're going BIG!
Returning to Palm Springs September 30 through October 4, The Dinah brings five days of pool parties, live music, comedy, dancing, and unforgettable connections. The 2026 lineup includes Hayley Kiyoko, Da Brat, The Aces, Sasha Keable, and comedians Cameron Esposito, Pink Foxx, and Abe Farrelly.
But The Dinah has always been about more than a party. It's a place where queer women can celebrate themselves, find community, make lifelong friendships, and experience the freedom of being exactly who they are.
Robert and Rose chat about the festival's incredible legacy, her journey from attendee to owner, the importance of creating spaces for LGBTQ+ women, and what audiences can expect from this exciting new chapter.
From The Real L Word to running one of the biggest celebrations of queer women in the world, Rose Garcia is keeping the party going—and making sure everyone has a place at it!
