Dallas Circuit Party Evicted From Hotel – ‘Leave Immediately’

With a message of “sorry it didn’t work out,” the powers that be at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Dallas on Saturday, June 6, cancelled all remaining events for the DaddyLand Festival 2024 circuit party. And, the hotel asked the DaddyLand participants staying at the hotel to please vacate the premises by 6pm that evening.

Titled “DaddyLand Mythology,” the event was billed as a “mega music festival for Daddy lovers.” Ersin Winokur, one of the organizers for DaddyLand, announced via social media that only the events scheduled at the hotel have been cancelled, while all other events being held at other venues will continue as planned. There’s been much discussion about the kerfuffle over on the r/AskGayBros subreddit including knocking down claims of homophobia by the hotel, which has reportedly hosted many LGBTQ events in the past. One redditor in the thread who says he helped organize the event (but quit before the festival began) offered his take in a lengthy comment here. I have to say: I understand the kinds of shenanigans that can go on at a circuit party. Some folks are throwing out allegations of inappropriate nudity, sex and/or possible drug use in public, but I have no confirmation of any of that.

Evicting all hotel guests associated with the event from their rooms seems extreme. Why not let folks stay in the rooms they paid for where any and everything inappropriate for “the public” would be in private? Why punish all attendees for what might be the actions of a small bunch of people? This is reportedly the note guests staying at the Crowne Plaza for the DaddyLand weekend received asking them to please “leave immediately.”
