Palm Springs, CA (The Hollywood Times) 8/20/26 – The Hollywood Times is proud to announce its media partnership with the Human Rights Campaign Palm Springs/Coachella Valley for the 25th HRC Palm Springs Garden Party, Silver Palm Edition, a milestone celebration bringing together community leaders, advocates, supporters and friends in support of LGBTQ+ equality.
For 25 years, the Palm Springs Garden Party has created a space for the Coachella Valley community to come together, celebrate progress and support the ongoing work of the Human Rights Campaign.
The partnership is especially meaningful to The Hollywood Times Publisher and Senior Editor Valerie Milano, who has personally supported HRC as a longtime donor for approximately a decade and has worked with the organization through previous media partnerships.
“I’m very happy that The Hollywood Times will once again be working with HRC, especially for such an important anniversary,” Milano said. “HRC has been meaningful to me personally for many years, and we are excited to help bring even more attention to the Garden Party and the work being done for LGBTQ+ equality.”
As an official media partner, The Hollywood Times will help promote the Silver Palm Edition in the weeks leading up to the celebration, with advance editorial coverage, digital promotion and event coverage planned.
The publication is also exploring special on-camera interviews tied to the Garden Party, including a hoped-for conversation with Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson.
“I would especially love to interview Kelley Robinson because we know each other personally,” Milano said. “She is such an important voice, and I think a conversation with her about HRC, the Palm Springs community and what this 25th anniversary represents would be very special.”
The Hollywood Times is also interested in speaking with notable honorees, celebrity supporters, hosts, performers and other prominent participants connected with this year’s event as additional details are announced.
The Garden Party has long been one of Palm Springs’ signature LGBTQ+ community gatherings, bringing together local leaders, businesses, advocates and supporters for an afternoon centered around connection, visibility and equality.
For The Hollywood Times, the partnership reflects its longstanding commitment to covering LGBTQ+ arts, entertainment, advocacy and community events in both Greater Los Angeles and the Coachella Valley.
“We have covered and supported so many incredible LGBTQ+ events and organizations over the years,” Milano added. “Palm Springs is a very important part of our readership and our community, and I’m thrilled that we can help celebrate 25 years of the HRC Palm Springs Garden Party.”
More coverage, interviews and event information will be coming soon from The Hollywood Times as the 25th HRC Palm Springs Garden Party, Silver Palm Edition approaches.
