Top 5 Pride Month Experiences CDMX
Pride Month in Mexico City is celebrated to the fullest: streets filled with color, vibrant music, and a community honoring diversity. Here’s our top-ranking list of activities to make the most of Pride in CDMX:
1. Pride Parade
The CDMX Pride Parade is the crown jewel of the celebration.
As every year, on the last Saturday of June, over a million people are expected to take to the streets. The gathering begins early at the Ángel de la Independencia, and as tradition holds, the parade will proceed down Paseo de la Reforma, concluding at the Zócalo.
The atmosphere is simply epic: floats adorned with feathers and sequins, drag queens, dancers, drumlines, and an abundance of good vibes everywhere!
The parade is a carnival of joy, music to dance to, and an incredible sense of unity. Don’t forget to wear comfortable clothes, sunscreen, and—most importantly—the desire to celebrate big!
2. Pride Party: Bars and Clubs in Zona Rosa
Zona Rosa transforms into the ultimate LGBTQ+ party hub. “It’s the heart of LGBTQ+ nightlife in CDMX and the perfect place to keep the celebration going.” Here are some iconic spots to dance and toast:
- Kinky Bar: Famous for its festive vibe, it’s a great place to dance and meet new people.
- Rico Club: Known for electronic music and local drag shows, ideal for a cool night out.
- El Cabare-tito: Perfect for hitting the dance floor without inhibitions.
You can also check out Boy Bar, La Purísima, Cabo Cantina, or La Botica for more nightlife fun.
3. Spa Homme: Men’s Wellness with Pride
Spa Homme is a wellness oasis for men located in the heart of Zona Rosa.
This June, they’re offering 30% off facials (from May 26 to June 3). They’ve also launched the special offer: During this month book a massage with 30 minutes in sauna included for $1,400MXN.
During Pride Week, they’re hosting a Spa Happy Hour, where massages include two complimentary drinks with a minimum purchase.
At the end of the month, there’s a “Glow with Pride” raffle: for every $1,000 MXN spent, you’ll get a chance to win a complete Spa Homme package along with a professional photoshoot session.
In short, it’s the perfect excuse to pamper yourself (and your partner) with massages, a sauna, and great drinks—all with Pride vibes. 🌈✨
4. Play: “Destello”
Destello is a high-intensity LGBT drama being staged at Teatro Milán (Foro Lucerna). The plot follows the story of a gay couple, Julio and Carlos, who seemingly have it all—until one ordinary night changes everything.
This emotional tale about love, pain, and truth is a romantic psychological thriller directed by Sebastián Sánchez Amunátegui and stars Pablo Perroni and Alejandro Oliva.
The production delves into the fragility of relationships and the secrets we keep. It runs on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays until the end of June, making it the perfect opportunity for an evening escape to immerse yourself in its powerful performances.
5. Symphonic Pride
Symphonic Pride is a one-of-a-kind concert blending rock, pop, and symphonic music with the spirit of Pride.
Produced by Seven Waves, this LGBT+ show features over 30 musicians, including an orchestra, gay choir, and live band, performing iconic songs by artists like Lady Gaga, Queen, Madonna, Gloria Trevi, Juan Gabriel, and more.
The event will take place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the Nuevo Teatro Silvia Pinal (Franz Mayer Museum), with two showtimes: 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The event is for ages 16 and up.
Adding to the excitement, there will be a drag queen runway on stage, making this show doubly unmissable!
CDMX welcomes you with open arms this Pride Month! Bring your best attitude and enjoy every party, dance, and vibrant symphonic note with pride! 🎉🌈
