We highlight various artists, genres, and venues each week, showcasing the city’s vibrant entertainment scene in our weekly Puerto Vallarta Shoutouts! While not exhaustive, we rotate schedules seasonally to feature as many performers as possible. Artists can share their stories via our site’s Pitch an Article button at the bottom left of every page.
If we missed you or you’re new—especially if you perform in Spanish—email selena@pveverything.com to be included in our Puerto Vallarta Shoutouts!
Remember, always check with venues for updates, as show details sometimes change in the fast-moving entertainment biz.
We are officially in “Low Season” for entertainment, with the last shows at The Palm & Coco wrapping up and Act2 only open a few days a week. Places like Nacho Daddy and La Catrina remain open for most of the summer months, but there is a significant reduction in shows as everyone gears up for the big Pride events!
At PV Everything Entertainment, we have done the searching for you to curate a select Shout Out list of must-see events, cherished live music shows, and brand-new must-try entertainment and venues. Enjoy the week, try something new!
