Went to Puerto Vallarta for Pride and I’m still thinking about it, 2pm beach clubs blasting music, shirtless dudes doing tequila shots before noon, total chaos in the best way.

A few new discoveries if you are heading to there soon:
• Burly Bottom Designs in Zona Romántica, a small shop run by a couple who relocated from Houston, you pick a design and watch them press it onto a shirt/tank/etc. in real time. 400+ original designs, some very NSFW, also stocks lube/cleaner that’s weirdly hard to find in PV otherwise.
• Zona Z: Small 8-room boutique hotel, felt more like a nice friend’s house than a hotel. On-site spa and a chiropractor guests rave about.
• Raíces: best meal I had all trip, everything cooked over a wood fire, in a restored old house in Emiliano Zapata.
• 4 new gay bars opened recently too: Cheeky Lounge, Opal Bar, The Eagle PV, and Boys PV.

I wrote up the full rundown with photos/addresses in my newsletter if anyone wants the details:

CDMX turned out in full force this past Saturday for the 48th edition of the Marcha del Orgullo LGBT+ — Mexico City Pride 2026. Over 250,000 people marched from the Ángel de la Independencia down Paseo de la Reforma to the Zócalo, under this year’s theme: “Ante los ojos del mundo, mi lucha es tu lucha” (“In the eyes of the world, my fight is your fight”).

This year’s march coincided with the FIFA World Cup being hosted in Mexico City, making for one of the most charged and celebratory Pride weekends CDMX has seen. Kenia OS was crowned Reina del Pride 2026, and the main stage moved to Bellas Artes for a full day of performances following the march.

🇲🇽⚽ Did you know this incredible World Cup installation in Centro Zapopan was made entirely by hand?

More than 200 artisans from Etzatlán, Jalisco created this massive crocheted canopy celebrating the seven countries expected to play matches in Guadalajara during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Inspired by an Aztec serpent and crafted from thousands of handwoven pieces, it’s one of the most unique public art installations you’ll find in Mexico right now.

📍 Andador 20 de Noviembre, Centro Zapopan
