A luxurious moment of Latin pride under the sun.
The vibrant heart of the Mexican Pacific is getting ready to welcome, once again, thousands of national and international visitors who will celebrate Puerto Vallarta Pride 2025, one of the most anticipated LGBT+ celebrations in Latin America. This festival not only marks the close of high season in Jalisco's coastal gem, but also does so with an irresistible mix of glamour, fun, culture, haute cuisine, and world-class hospitality.
The main event, which will take place from Friday, March 23rd, includes a series of carefully curated activities for those seeking an exclusive experience in one of Mexico's most chic destinations.
The Pulpito Drag Derby: A Race of Heels and Laughter
The famous Pulpito Drag Derby, held on Pulpito Street and the Pinnacle steps (in front of the refined Swedes restaurant), has become a must-see for attendees. This event transforms the street into a true drag racetrack, where creativity, humor, and performance blend in an explosion of color, music, and applause.
It's not just a spectacle to see; it's a spectacle to experience. VIP attendees can reserve preferential spots on private terraces, with signature cocktails, premium champagne, and canapés prepared by renowned local chefs, enjoying the best views of this delirious parade.
Pride Pet Parade: Cuteness with a Cause
The following Monday, at 6 p.m., Lázaro Cárdenas Plaza will host one of the most tender moments of Pride: the Pride Pet Parade. This sunset dog parade is not only an opportunity to show off the most elegant and extravagant pets, but also to contribute to a worthy cause, as the funds raised benefit Puppy Paradise, a local organization dedicated to the rescue and care of dogs. Philanthropic attendees can sponsor parade dogs or even participate in benefit gala dinners hosted at the area's exclusive restaurants.
Five-star stay in the heart of the Zona Rosa
Puerto Vallarta is famous for its gay-friendly hotels and resorts, where luxury is part of the package. The Almar Hotel, with its iconic oceanfront section, is distinguished by its turquoise lounge chairs, which have become a symbol of high-end gay tourism. Its recently opened Almar Towers and the exclusive Eden Pool Club elevate the experience to another level, offering luxury suites with private terraces, infinity pools, signature spas, and gourmet cuisine with stunning panoramic views of Banderas Bay.
Those who prefer an even more private experience opt for the luxury condos in the gay district, with personalized services including private chefs, butlers, sommeliers, and private yacht transfers.
The Endless Night of the Romantic Zone
The Romantic Zone is undoubtedly the epicenter of Puerto Vallarta's LGBT+ nightlife, with more than 20 bars and clubs within walking distance of each other. Iconic venues like Bar La Noche, Señor Flamenco, Candy Bar, and Uno, Seis, Uno host a packed schedule of special events during Pride, from exclusive themed parties to international drag shows and performances by world-renowned DJs.
The VIP tables and reserved areas at these clubs are ideal for those looking to live the experience to the fullest, surrounded by impeccable service, premium drinks, and the best atmosphere.
More than a party: a cultural and gourmet destination
While Pride is undoubtedly a time to celebrate diversity and love, it's also a unique opportunity to discover the other side of Puerto Vallarta: its rich cultural, artistic, and gastronomic offerings. From renowned art galleries to private dinners with star chefs, exclusive tequila and mezcal experiences, sunset catamaran cruises, and excursions to pristine beaches, discerning visitors will find a parallel agenda packed with memorable options.
Puerto Vallarta, an elite destination for global pride
Puerto Vallarta has established itself as one of the most coveted gay destinations in the world, on par with cities like Mykonos, Tel Aviv, and Barcelona. Its unique combination of Mexican hospitality, luxurious infrastructure, and local authenticity makes it the ideal setting to celebrate Pride 2025 in style.
