A WetNhot attendee just wrote this: This event is really a spiritual thing for me. Its def “church” in the real sense of the word- community, honesty, respect, honor, love, patience, and peace. It’s so great, a feeling hard to describe. No one of my friends that hasn’t gone, understands this. He is so right! While it is easy to describe the physical event (3 nightly parties, registration party, 2 BBQs), there are no words to describe the atmosphere, sense of community, camaraderie, and the emotional landscape for guys who haven’t attended. WetNhot, the physical event, is merely a platform. […]

After two years of no WnH due to Covid and the monkeypox scare last year, we are crossing our fingers that there won’t be a plague to contend with this year. Nonetheless… We must comply with all federal, State of California, and local laws regarding Covid There are currently no restrictions in place, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any in place when the event takes place in June To keep you up to date in real time on event developments, we will issue periodic updates in our newsletter and our Facebook group, both of which you are welcome […]

It is impossible for a party organizers to objectively characterize an event. Hearing directly from those who attended adds validity, perspective and color, so we encourage you to read last year’s reviews below. WetNhot 2022, the event’s 25th anniversary, took place despite overwhelming odds that included a Covid surge and the emerging threat of monkeypox. Because we hadn’t had an event in 3 years, the energy on Friday night was more like that of a family reunion. There was lots of catching up to do with old friends and there were lots of new attendees to welcome into the fold […]

Southwest is now flying into Palm Springs airport (PSP). You can only book on Southwest’s site, not on others. www.southwest.com. Their rates are generally outstanding. Flights will probably fill up due to WnH, so I’d book sooner than later. Southwest has always given 100% credit, good for one year beyond booking date, for missed flights.

After two years of no WnH, we are collectively drier than the Palm Springs desert where WnH is held. Our approach to the 2022 event is informed by its two-year Covid derailment and what we’ve learned about the virus from the scientific and medical communities. Briefly… Because the trajectory and transmissibility of the virus, in all its mutated forms, is still unknown, and because we endeavor to do what is ethically and legally correct, and because there is a great deal of planning and ongoing work throughout the year on our part to assure a flawless event, and because you […]

We have closely watched developments re: Covid over the last 2 years and have determined that the safest way to hold the event this year is to have only vaccinated and boosted men in attendance. While there are some who object to the vaccines on various grounds, and while we respect their right to decide what goes into their bodies, we will follow the mainstream science when it comes to assuring the safety of our brothers who attend WnH. This is not up for debate. If you choose to be unvaccinated and boosted for any reason, then you will have to […]

The 2024 room lottery will take place on March 15. In order to better serve you, most of our volunteers are housed at the host resort. After they have all been accommodated, the remaining rooms at the host resort will be placed into a lottery. If you purchase a weekend pass on or before the close of business on March 13, you will automatically be entered into the room lottery.
