While the exact starting time and route details will be announced closer to the event, the usual route kicks off from the Ángel de la Independencia and heads toward the Zócalo in the Historic Center. Expect thousands of queers, music, floats, protest signs, and plenty of fabulous chaos.
—Tips for Surviving Pride Like a Pro
- Bring sunscreen, water, and comfy shoes.
- Hate crowds? Walking the side streets parallel to Reforma is way more chill and still packed with queer joy.
- Have coins and cash on hand—some parking garages open their bathrooms for a small fee.
- Kinksters assemble! Leather, pup, and BDSM groups march together. Look for them at Plaza Río de Janeiro before the parade begins.

Mexico City Gay Pride Week 2025
Mexico City’s Gay Pride 2025 will be Latin America’s biggest LGBTQ+ celebration that brings approximately 250,000 attendees to the bustling capital. The massive celebration runs from June 25 to June 30, 2025, and the main parade kicks off at 10:00 am on June 28.
The “Marcha del Orgullo,” as locals call the pride parade, has seen remarkable growth since 1979. Participants march through the historic center, starting at El Ángel de la Independencia and finishing at Zócalo – a spectacular 4-kilometer route. This vibrant celebration doubles as a powerful political statement that highlights LGBTQ+ rights and issues.
Your complete guide to the Gay Pride Mexico City 2025 awaits. You’ll learn how to navigate the parade route and where to find the best after-parties. Local favorites include underground clubs and special events that most tourists miss.
First-time attendees and experienced pride-goers alike will get the inside scoop to make Pride Week truly memorable.
Planning Your Trip to Mexico City Pride 2025
Looking to join one of Latin America’s most exciting LGBTQ+ celebrations? You’ll need a solid plan to make the most of Gay Pride Mexico City 2025. Let me walk you through everything from finding a place to stay to exploring the lively streets during Pride Week. This guide will help you create memories that last a lifetime.
When to arrive and how long to stay
The Mexico City Pride 2025 celebration runs from Wednesday, June 25 to Monday, June 30, 2025. You should get there at least two days before the main parade to settle in and get your bearings. The biggest highlight—the amazing parade—kicks off on Saturday, June 28, at 10:00 AM.
New visitors should plan to stay 5-7 days to soak in both the Pride events and the city’s amazing culture. If Pride is your main focus, coming in Thursday and leaving Monday will let you catch the biggest parties. The parade usually goes on for hours, and epic after-parties keep going until late at night all around the city.
Sticking around through Monday lets you recover and enjoy the more laid-back closing events happening on Sunday, typically brunch spots like La Dominga Brunch or the Küir Brunch Fest. Whole neighborhoods like La Roma, Condesa, Downtown and Zona Rosa come alive during Pride Week. People start setting up days before, and the celebrations keep going long after the parade ends.
Booking flights and accommodations early
Pride draws about 250,000 people to Mexico City. You’ll need to lock in your flights and hotel rooms way ahead of time. Most people book 3-4 months early to get good deals and make sure they have options.
The city has two main airports: Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez (just 4 miles from downtown) and Felipe Ángeles International Airport. Different airlines use different airports, so double-check before you book:
- Aeromexico flies to both airports
- American and Delta use Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez
- Volaris, Viva, and Mexicana mix it up between airports
Navigating the city during Pride Week
Gay Pride Mexico City: Zona Rosa events
Zona Rosa—which turns into the center stage of Mexico City’s pride week—will put you right where most of the action happens. This neighborhood becomes Pride central—home to some of the best gay bars and clubs, and the parade’s starting point. Many hotels run special Pride deals and packages.
Check out these great places to stay:
- Ibis Styles Zona Rosa: Right in the middle of the gay district, close to all the nightlife
- Hotel Geneve: A gorgeous historic spot with top-notch service and a famous cocktail bar
- NH Reforma: Comes with an outdoor pool and restaurant in Zona Rosa
- Hotel Carlota: This urban-chic gem with its sleek glass façade sits just steps from the vibrant chaos of Zona Rosa—close enough to dive into the action, but tucked away enough for the privacy you’ll want when it’s time to recharge.
- Sofitel Mexico City: Towering over Reforma with jaw-dropping views of the Angel of Independence, this luxe high-rise is ground zero for some of Pride’s most exclusive events. If there are no budget restrictions, Sofitel is the place to stay—stylish, central, and absolutely unforgettable.

Gay Pride Mexico City: Downtown events
Downtown Mexico City turns into one big Pride festival during Pride day. The parade moves down Paseo de la Reforma from the Angel of Independence monument to Zócalo square, covering about 4 kilometers through the city’s heart.
Getting around on parade day gets tricky with street closures and packed public transport. Here’s what you should do:
- Take the metro early before it gets super crowded (Metro Insurgentes is the closest subway station to the parade’s initial spot, and Metro Allende is the closest to the final event in El Zócalo)
- Use Uber to get close—but not too close—to the action. We recommend heading to spots like Parque Río de Janeiro or The St. Regis Mexico City, then strolling over to the parade from there. It’s a smoother ride and a scenic walk.
- If you’re craving the parade energy but not the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, take a detour down one of the quieter parallel streets like Hamburgo or Río Lerma. You’ll still catch the buzz of Reforma, just with a little more breathing room on your way toward the Zócalo.
- Show up at your parade spot 1 hour early if you’re staying outside the main area.
The city’s huge metro system makes getting around cheap and quick during other Pride days. June traffic and metro crowds are better than other months, though Pride events create some busy spots.
Get to the Angel of Independence early if you want a good view of the parade. If you’re marching, meet around the area at 9:30 AM to join hundreds of thousands of proud participants.
Mexico City Pride is Latin America’s second-largest Pride event after São Paulo. The city gets very busy, so planning your moves ahead of time—especially for parade day—helps you focus on enjoying this amazing celebration of LGBTQ+ pride and diversity.
