Vallarta Pride 2017 is the time of the year when progress against discrimination and violence towards Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite, Transsexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTTTI) people is celebrated.
This year the gay pride parade that marks the official start of the Festival will be held on Wednesday, May 24 at 7:00 pm, beginning at the Sheraton Hotel with the route extended all the way to the end of Lázaro Cárdenas street. The event will have the honor of having the participation of the Municipal President of Puerto Vallarta, Arturo Dávalos Peña, who along with his family, will lead the parade "Together with Pride".
The fame of Puerto Vallarta as a Gay Friendly destination, has placed the city as the second most popular beach destination in Latin America, after Rio de Janeiro, for the LGBTTTI traveler. This is why the Pride festival, unites the area with the world and has become an event representative not only of the LGBTTTTI community but of the destination.
This year's pride festival will have a significant increase of visitors, more than 20% in relation to last year, with an expectation of 16,000 people from Canada, the United States . . .
