Puerto Vallarta is ready to ignite with love, color, and fearless self-expression during this year’s Vallarta PRIDE celebration, running from Saturday, May 17th to Sunday, May 25th.
With over 20 unique events packed into nine unforgettable days, this is more than just a party—it’s a full-spectrum celebration of identity, inclusion, and human rights.
This Year’s Theme:
“Vallarta Pride Revolution – Future Has No Gender”
More than a slogan, this year’s theme is a bold declaration of unity in diversity. It invites us to embrace our true selves and others who challenge norms and expand the meaning of freedom, love, and identity. The Vallarta Pride Revolution is a call to joyfully disrupt outdated expectations and champion a future where everyone has the right to be their best version.
A Week Bursting with PRIDE
Whether you’re here to dance until sunrise, dine with purpose, or wave your flag in the solidarity march, there’s something for everyone. Here’s just a taste of what’s on the calendar:
All-Out Circuit Parties: High-energy dance events with world-class DJs at iconic venues.
Solidarity March & Main Parade: Join thousands as we flood the streets with music, movement, and color in a show of collective strength and joy.
Drag Derby & Brunch: Expect stilettos, sass, sweat, and no shortage of sequins.
Lesbian Raves: Curated queer spaces celebrating women and non-binary identities.
Pet Parade: Because even our four-legged friends deserve to strut with pride.
Beach Volleyball Tournaments: Where sashs, spikes, and smiles go hand in hand.
Art Auctions & Cultural Dinners: Spotlighting queer voices in visual art from some of Mexico’s leading artist, food, and fashion.
And don’t miss the Parade and Block Party Extravaganza on Thursday—the parade ends at L. Cardenas for an open-air blowout that marks the pinnacle of PRIDE week with music, performances, dancing, and more than a few surprises along the route from the stadium at the Sheraton and traveling through Vallarta along Morelos parallel with the Malecon.

Why It Matters
In a time when the world still struggles with discrimination, identity politics, and fear-based divisions, Vallarta PRIDE serves as both sanctuary and spark—a space where joy becomes resistance, and community becomes power. This is more than a party. It’s a revolution built on glitter, love, and radical inclusion.
