DADFEST
A Western Xposure HOLIDAY WEEKEND

Xperience True Freedom at this Celebration of Daddies
Time to show off those Dad Bods! Western Xposure's Dadfest is our favorite way to celebrate the 4th of July. There may not be any fireworks but we can promise you plenty of grand finales! This hot July weekend is your chance to get some quality pool time in before we take off for the rest of the 2026 summer.
DRYHEAT IS IN THE HOUSE!
We have the DJ's from DRY HEAT poolside all weekend bringing their unique sound to all of Dadfest!
XPLORE THE CCBC!
We have trails to roam, grassy areas to relax in, dark rooms and outdoor play spaces, and much more including hot tubs, a steam room, and cold plunge waterfall.
FREE LUNCH BBQ'S FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY
SATURDAY NIGHT! 8pm-4am BEARUNION: $25 Night Pass
CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE
Xposure events are mostly unstructured free-flowing parties we like to call a "choose your adventure" style gathering of men. Our schedule is only there to help guide you through the weekend, but the adventure you actually go on is entirely up to you!
Spend your time in the pool, getting some sun, walking the trails, or laying in a sling... We set up the space so you can go at your own pace and do whatever you need to do so you can leave here recharged and ready to face the world outside our walls.
Xposure is a body & sex positive event that welcomes you to Xpose yourself to the elements and enjoy the outdoors with like-minded men in a safe, judgment free space.

How many attend? Dadfest can be VERY hot so this is not for everyone, but it is a great weekend full of guys from all over the country who come for the long weekend. The event is a moderately sized gathering both day and night.
-
What's the event like? It's a great mix of relaxing and exhausting. The heat can make you want to take it easy and save your energy for the night. We do a full Xposure setup so you can enjoy the whole resort at your speed. Take it easy and stay hydrated!
-
Does the event sell out? Rooms will sell out, but day passes are always available at the door for anyone not staying at the resort.

Know Before You Go

Always Call to Book Your Room
Rooms appear as SOLD OUT online. This is because we block them out to hold them for the event. The front desk is open 24hours to help you make your reservation.
If the event IS sold out, ask to put on the waitlist.

Alcohol Policy
ROOM GUESTS: are permitted to bring in alcohol.
DAY/WEEKEND PASSES: No outside alcohol. Drinks may be purchased at the Runway during business hours.
We're sorry for this but some people had to ruin all the fun.

Food & Groceries
There are several restaurants in walking distance, as well as the on-site restaurant The Runway open most days for Lunch and Dinner, with Breakfast on the weekedns.
Vons, Trader Joes, and Target are all close by as well.

Bring Your Own Chairs
As with all pools, chairs can go fast! If you want to bring your own chair that's perfectly fine! We only don't allow tents or popups, but umbrellas are fine.

Camping
Sadly Cathedral City has banned tent camping. We do not know the reason for this bullshit but we are trying to get it back.

Age Restriction
All events are 21+. We don't care how cute they are.
Nearby Hotels
These are our picks for the best (closest) nearby Hotels. Please know that none are in comfortable walking distance.

Don't Forget to Bring...
Here's a few things we thought we'd remind you to grab on your way out.
Flip flops, crocs, or shoes for those hot desert paths.
The resort charges for towels, best bring your own. A robe is great for chilly nights.
Do not underestimate the sun! You will burn here.
Please hydrate often and keep your belly filled.
