Las Vegas is set to get ultra fabulous this EDC Weekend as Ultra Load: The Gay Village takes over the scene with a splashy, high-energy twist on the traditionally straight Electric Daisy Carnival festivities. From May 16 to 18, LGBTQ+ partygoers and their allies will flock to Alexis Park All Suite Resort for Desert Days’ bold new vision of festival inclusivity, and it’s promising to be the queer day-party playground we never knew we were missing – until now.

Imagine it: 3,000 beautiful humans, glittering poolside under the Vegas sun, moving to the beats of internationally known DJs and rising stars, all while soaking in the vibes of a community that lives loud and proud. That’s what Ultra Load is serving—along with all-gay service staff, fierce VIP experiences, and activations from queer-owned businesses that will keep things extra all weekend long.

The festivities kick off Friday, May 16, and they’re diving in headfirst with DJs Brad Lee and Nick Stracener bringing their signature heat to the pool decks, followed by Jungle Room shake-ups with Derek Monteiro and Sam Gee. Saturday, May 17 keeps the momentum alive with legends Erik Vilar and Hector Fonseca turning the pool into a dance sanctuary, while inside, host Joshua Flores and DJ Jon Klaft transform Jungle Room into Otter Pop Las Vegas—sure to be a cheeky, wild highlight of the weekend. Then, as the sun begins to set on Sunday, May 18, the vibes soar with Dawna Montell, Dustin, and Kipnotik heating up the pool, before DJs Janky and Sammy Taylor bring the party home inside Jungle Room. It’s a lineup that’s as diverse, dynamic, and delightfully queer as the crowd it’s meant to move.

While EDC Weekend is already known as North America’s largest electronic dance music festival, what it hasn’t had—until now—is a daytime space that truly honors and embraces the LGBTQ+ community. Ultra Load: The Gay Village is stepping in to fill that void, offering a safe, sexy, and seriously fun environment where self-expression reigns supreme and queer joy is front and center.
