Vallarta PRIDE 2016: 'We Are One Family,' May 16-30

February 19, 2016

Some events planned for Vallarta Pride 2016 are: Candlelight march, March against homophobia, a Women's Party, Film Festival, Music Festival, Party in the Park, Drag Derby and a Gay Pride grand parade.

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - For the fourth consecutive year Puerto Vallarta is the proud home of Vallarta PRIDE, scheduled to take place from May 16th to 30th, 2016, under the motto "We are one family." The most important LGBTTIQ pride festival in the region will host several events that include: art, culture, concerts, entertainment, movies, parties, grand gay pride parade and fun for everyone.

Civil associations, private companies and the entire LGBTTIQ community comes together again to organize this event over fifteen days, which aims to honor and promote the culture and respect for sexual diversity in the city, the region and the state Jalisco. The main events are free, popular and not-for-profit to show the world once again the best of Puerto Vallarta.

The Organizing Committee believes that during Vallarta PRIDE 2015, there were between 15 and 18 thousand visitors to Puerto Vallarta, which meant an increase in tourism numbers in at least 30% from the previous year. Currently, special rates are being negotiated with both the destination's hotels as well as domestic and international airlines.

Some of the events to be held during this festival of diversity are: a Candlelight march, March against homophobia, Women's party, Film festival, Music festival, Party in the park, Drag Derby, Circuit party and Gay Pride grand parade. The complete list of events for Vallarta PRIDE 2016 will be announced soon.

If any company or individual is interested in becoming a sponsor or volunteer for the 2016 Pride Festival in Puerto Vallarta, please visit VallartaPride.com, or send an email to info(at)vallartapride.com for details.

About Vallarta PRIDE

Recognized internationally as a LGBTTIQ Mecca, Puerto Vallarta warmly receives domestic and international gay visitors, creating a sophisticated culture sheltered by a vibrant local community that is constantly evolving. This heritage was adopted by the Vallarta PRIDE Organizing Committee in order to work together with public and private partners, putting our city on the world stage of the yearly LGBTTIQ celebrations. Vallarta PRIDE works towards a future without discrimination so that we all have equal rights before the law. We believe we can achieve this through the LGBTTIQ events we organize to inspire, to commemorate and celebrate our community.
