Getting Ready for the 2014 Puerto Vallarta Gay Pride Parade (Mary Tamayo)
The third gay pride festival in our destination began with the International March Against Homophobia. This event, which took place Sunday at 6:00 pm at the Sheraton Buganvilias showed a united Puerto Vallarta in the fight for gender equality.
However, the Vallarta Pride 2015 festivities are not only to celebrate and pay tribute to the LGBT community, but also to celebrate tolerance in our city and those who decide to live life without prejudices. This 9-day festival has been possible with the support of various companies and civil associations that support the cause with pride.
The largest showcase to demonstrate the UNITY of our society will be the great Vallarta Pride Parade, scheduled to take place this Saturday May 23, at 5:00 pm. The parade will start at the Hotel Sheraton Buganvilias and will continue along the Malecon, crossing the “Rio Cuale” bridge, continuing along Ignacio L. Vallarta, turning right on Venustiano Carranza onto Olas Altas and culminating on Rodolfo Gómez.
