Bruno from RuPaul’s Drag Race Pit Crew will perform at "One Night Out Rio."

In 2022, the smash party hit “One Night Out Havana Nights” kicked off event season with rhythmic vibes, classic cars and cigars; then in 2023, “One Night Out Bollywood” dazzled with a whirlwind of vibrant colors and the hilarious hijinks of legendary Bollywood.

Now get ready for “One Night Out Rio,” a fantastical fete of fabulousness based on the greatest show on Earth—Carnival. “One Night Out Rio” is an homage to the feather-rich, bedazzled, masked beauty and artistry of the world’s biggest, most creative—and inclusive—party. Guests will experience Brazil’s national cocktail, the caipirinha, plus an array of creative dishes by Lulu Catering; enjoy dance with Heart of Samba featuring the irrepressible moves of Bruno from RuPaul’s Drag Race Pit Crew; see flying art aerial performers; and shake their tail feathers to the global beats by DJ Alf Alpha. “One Night Out Rio” will take place from 7 to 10 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Palm Springs Air Museum.

The annual “Party with a Purpose,” hosted by The Foundation for Palm Springs Unified School District and the PSUSD Alumni Committee, is a friend-raiser that connects the community to student needs in the community.

General admission is $40 for live samba entertainment, a DJ dance party, fabulous food stations and cocktails. VIP admission is $100 with a special invitation to a reception at 6 p.m., with live entertainment featuring Leanna and Miguel in advance of 7 p.m. general admission. VIP guests also receive two drink tickets. For a $1,000 donation, guests secure a private Carnival table plus 4 VIP tickets with all the VIP ticket perks, and acknowledgement at the event.

“One Night Out” tickets are considered one of the valley’s best values, and a fabulous time to reconnect with old friends and mingle with new friends. Sure to be one of Coachella Valley’s liveliest fall evenings, “One Night Out Rio” kicks off the fall party season and is expected to be a sellout.
