The history of karaoke in Puerto Vallarta is hard to pinpoint, but karaoke culture likely followed the broader adoption of karaoke in Mexico, which gained traction in the 1990s and early 2000s. The rise of tourism in Puerto Vallarta played a significant role in establishing karaoke as a popular entertainment activity. Venues catering to international tourists and expatriates embraced karaoke as a fun, participatory nightlife option, blending it with the city’s vibrant entertainment offerings.
