Pride Under The Pines 2025 will feature Legendary diva Janice Robinson as its headliner alongside other special live performances from 12 - 7 pm.

PALM SPRINGS, CA, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Experience the magic of Pride Under The Pines 2025. In just three weeks, this Pride festival will debut at a new venue in Idyllwild, CA. as it celebrates its fifth edition.

Pride Under The Pines 2025 will take place on Saturday, October 4th, from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m., at the festival’s new venue at the Idyllwild Town Hall (25925 Cedar St, Idyllwild Pine Cove), which is surrounded by fresh mountain air, beautiful pine trees, and offers a large stage. Curating the best in nonstop dance music, live performances, and drag superstar entertainment, this all-ages event will have guests feeling equally excited as the picturesque elements of this desert-mountain town pair a warm welcome from Idyllwild’s local businesses, residents, and prideful supporters, who show up to express their love for the LGBTQ+ community, year after year.

Co-owners of PS HomeBoys’ retail stores, and the event’s producers, Jeremy Taylor and Niels Kosman, shared, “Team Pride Under the Pines is thrilled to be bringing our event to the next level with a new location at Idyllwild’s Town Hall, with an even BIGGER stage, that allows our audience a better view of our live performances and musical acts. Our pride event is more than a music festival—it’s a one of a kind celebration of love, resilience, and the power of community and after 5 years we are staying true to our original mission, to bring fabulous entertainment with a full day of out-and-proud LGBTQ+ pride festival entertainment with family-friendly activities including live music, food, fun, and live acts!"

Renowned by festival goers near and far, Pride Under The Pines is one of Idyllwild’s most well-attended annual events and has become a cherished tradition in this beautiful high-desert town. Providing an annual destination for LGBTQ+ allies from all across Southern California to make new friends, dance, laugh, and stand proudly as one. Pride Under The Pines was founded in 2021, “out of love for Idyllwild and a sense of community,” and was conceived in response to limitations brought about by COVID —as two gay entrepreneurs from Palm Springs, Niels and Jeremy, fell in love with the town of Idyllwild rustic charm and towering pine trees, and got together and said, — “We’re coming out: out into the open and up on the mountain for the first ever Pride Under the Pines.”

Since PS HomeBoys’ first Pride Under the Pines, their event has welcomed thousands of festival guests, and each year it increases in popularity, attendance, and continues to grow exponentially because of its loyal fan base, which consists of passionate + prideful California residents. “At a time when equality and rights are under threat, showing up matters more than ever. By joining us, you’re not just having an unforgettable day filled with live music, food, dragtastic entertainment and joy—you’re helping keep this prideful event alive in a time when LGBTQ+ rights are being threatened more than ever.” Jeremy Taylor, PS HomeBoys owner, and event co-founder, commented.

Proudly continuing without the support of state funding, their grassroots organization has built a movement based on the belief in creating a space for people to come together as one family. “At Pride Under The Pines, our goal is to provide a safe and inspiring place to uplift and support the LGBTQ+ community. Your support makes all the difference and helps keep our communities, allies, and families thriving for years to come. We honor every color, every truth, and every beautiful soul who shows up authentically. This is our reminder to live unapologetically, stand boldly, and accept every part of ourselves—flaws and all—and to embrace equality, visibility, by creating joyful safe-spaces for all.” Jeremy added.

Pride Under The Pines 2025 musical headliner, known for iconic songs “There Must Be Love", is the one and only Janice Robinson! Robinson’s sultry voice and electric dance moves will light up the stage and have you dancing in the aisles. “It is an honour to be the headliner at Pride Under The Pines in Idyllwild this year. To celebrate Love, Unity, and Music in such a beautiful place is pure magic, and I cannot wait to share that joy with everyone.” Janice Robinson is internationally known for being a member of the 1990s Eurodance group Livin' Joy with whom she released the global dance hit "Dreamer" in 1994. Though she departed from the group following its release and embarked on a solo career, Janice Robinson’s debut album “The Color Within Me” was released in 1999, and she has been performing solo ever since. Her decades-long and successful career is renowned for her ability as a singer and songwriter, and she has written songs for Kristine W, Taylor Dayne, Reina, and Ashley Tisdale. “Join me October 4th in Idyllwild, CA, for a celebration of love, and LGBTQ+ pride under the towering pines…as we celebrate diversity, love, and community with us under the beautiful California skies.” Janice Robinson, musician and legendary diva, commented.

Included in the Pride festival jam-packed event’s agenda, KGAY’s 106.5 Palm Springs very own DJ Galaxy will undoubtedly have guests dancing the day away as he delivers a unique blend of house and hip-hop dance beats.
