FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please check your email 1 week before the event. We will be sending out a “welcome” email, which will include all event details, including exact location coordinates, a finalized schedule, and more.
Where is the event?
How much does this cost?
Pride in the Desert is a community-driven FREE event. That being said, Vanlife Pride is entirely volunteer-run and exists with your help. We ask that all attendees who are able donate $10 or more to help us continue hosting safe spaces for our queer nomadic community.
Do I have to live in a van to attend?
No! All rigs are welcome, including skoolies, RVs, cars, etc. You don’t even have to live in a rig (tents welcome!). The only requirement is that you do have to be self-contained, as we do not provide toilets, water, trash, or any other amenities/services.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, but we have a STRICT leash policy. We pride ourselves on hosting a very inclusive and safe space. Having dogs on leash allows those who own cats or reactive dogs the opportunity to safely participate in this event. You are welcome to take your dogs away from the event on a walk off-leash if you wish!
Do I have to be on camera?
By attending this event you agree to possibly be on camera. If you do not wish to be on camera, we ask that you park further from the main camp, but please note that whenever you are in community spaces there is always the possibility of being filmed.
Is this event open to allies?
Absolutely! We love our ally friends and we are thrilled to have you join us! As always, please keep in mind the energy you bring to the event as this is a queer-focused event. We appreciate your support within our community!
