The Palm Springs Surf Club is set to heat up the weekend with its upcoming “Splash & Slay Drag Brunch,” scheduled for Saturday, April 29th. As summer temperatures soar in the Coachella Valley—already reaching 91°F this morning with forecasts predicting highs near 113°F by Thursday—the club is promising an event full of flair, fun, and fabulous performances.
The event kicks off at 12:30 p.m. and will be hosted by Ethylina Canne, a celebrated local drag queen with accolades including Desert Drag Race champion, Best in Drag, and Queen of the Desert. Additional performances will be featured by Sue Casa, Cee Cee Russel, and Kalista Stage.
According to the event flyer, attendees can expect “a fierce and fabulous drag brunch where the queens serve looks, mimosas and Bloody Marys flow freely, and the vibes stay splashy.” The brunch package includes bottomless mimosas or Bloody Marys with a meal priced at $120. Brunch without the drinks is available for $95.
Event organizers encourage guests to bring their surfboards and consider whether they will catch waves before or after the brunch. For those considering embracing the drag spirit, guidance on selecting a drag persona is available, drawing on tips such as wordplay, personal history, defining features, and pop culture inspiration.
As a lighthearted aside, the drag name “Bitchy Crab” has already been claimed.
The Palm Springs Surf Club’s “Splash & Slay Drag Brunch” promises a unique combination of surf culture and vibrant drag performance — an event that embraces diversity, creativity, and community spirit.
