VALLARTA PRIDE 2015 – A HUGE SUCCESS

The value of "Unity" was the theme banner of Vallarta Pride 2015, held from 17 to 25 May in our destination. And it was precisely this unity that managed to create a highly successful third edition of the most important annual gay pride festival most in the region. The Organizing Committee wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to all those who participating enthusiastically and to all the sponsors.

Undoubtedly, the most representative and emotional event of this festival was the Grand Vallarta Pride Parade, that saw the participation of more than 10 thousand people marching and enjoying the Party at the Park Lazaro Cardenas which headed by acclaimed DJ José Spinnin and with performances by DJ Marko, Diamante Negro, Diva Divine, Las Gemelas de Vallarta, Juan Pablo Hernandez, Victoria Volkoba, Loyola, Luis Roberto Perez and directly from Spain, La Prohibida.

Undoubtedly, all this effort would not have been possible without the participation and support of the Bureau of Conventions and Visitors (BCV), the Department of Transit, the cleaning crew and, of course, of all nationals and foreigners who supported the committee in organizing the event.
