PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO, August 13, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Casa Cupula, Puerto Vallarta's premier LGBTQ+ luxury resort, proudly announces the launch of its jam-packed Fall & Winter 2026 Events Season. The new season features an exciting lineup of signature pool parties, iconic drag entertainment, immersive dining experiences, and unforgettable holiday celebrations.

Known for pairing high-caliber entertainment with a genuine sense of community, Casa Cupula has built the season around experiences for every kind of guest, from no-cover pool days to once-a-year holiday dinners. Early bird pricing on the season's signature events is available now for a limited time, rewarding guests who plan ahead.

Let the Season Begin!

Celebrate US & Canadian Labor Day Weekend (September 5-7) with a special WERK! Edition of our Big Gay Drag brunch, and a special edition of our famous NKD Pool Party on Saturday. With great prices and a fourth night free, along with $50 USD EACH DAY to spend at the resort.

Guests can celebrate the spirit of Mexican Independence on Saturday, September 19. From patriotic colors to tropical luxury, the ¡Viva México! Edition of the famous NKD Pool Party combines Mexican national pride with Casa Cupula's signature playful party, creating one of the most exciting themed pool parties of the season.

The official season then begins the weekend of October 9–11, which lands nicely on Columbus Day weekend for the United States and Thanksgiving weekend for Canada. With long weekends all around, Casa Cupula kicks things off with the first FUN WKND of the year.

Fall back in love with the #1 Pool Party ranked in #GAYPV with Friday's Adam & Steve NKD Pool Party (men only) and the equally popular NKD Pool Party on Saturday, October 10. With two events on Sunday, October 11, the iconic Big Gay Drag Brunch and the Sunday T-Dance Party, the opening weekend sets the tone for a season filled with energy and entertainment.

FUN WKNDs at the Pool Club

With rotating DJs, dancers, and themes, the energy keeps going from Thursday through Sunday every week: no-cover Thursdays, the signature NKD Pool Parties on Friday and Saturday, Sunday's Big Gay Drag Brunch headlined by the fabulous Cupula Dolls, along with a lively T-dance afterward.

Holiday Traditions, Reimagined

For many guests, the fall and winter holidays are the reason to come to Puerto Vallarta, and Casa Cupula builds each one into a celebration worth traveling for. Early bird pricing makes it easy to lock in these marquee nights before the holiday rush.

Starting with a true Mexican tradition, the Dia de los Muertos Dinner Experience returns on Thursday, October 29 with tickets from $799 MXN ($47 USD). Guests will mingle among sexy Catrinas while enjoying a menu drawn from the diverse delights of Mexican gastronomy. Everyone is invited to arrive in dramatic head-to-toe black and the evening has added mystery with a secret guest entertainer. The celebration continues across Halloween weekend with a NKD Pool Party Costume contest on Friday, October 30, with spooky & sexy entertainment, and closes with the Dia de Los Muertos Drag Brunch on Sunday, November 1.

The very popular Thanksgiving Dinner Experience kicks off the holiday season on Thursday, November 26. A lavish traditional Thanksgiving menu is served buffet style so you can enjoy a little bit of everything. We refine the tradition to focus on gratitude and the company of chosen family, but we throw in a full hour of entertainment to wash it all down. A full Thanksgiving weekend of pool parties follows. Early bird Thanksgiving Dinner tickets start at $1,399 MXN ($82 USD) and are available online.

December is when Vallarta really takes off. Christmas weekend fills the Pool Club with festive parties for those spending the holiday among friends, old and new. Then the New Year's Eve Celebration Dinner on Thursday, December 31, sends off the year with music, live performances, and a prime rib buffet, complete with a bubbly welcome toast and the Mexican tradition of twelve grapes at midnight for good luck. With a perfect view of fireworks around the entire bay at midnight, the only dress code is to shine: glitter and glamour, gold and silver, jewels and sequins. The NYE Dinner tickets start at $99 USD if purchased before October 31, 2026 (higher closer to event). Party-only tickets for entrance after dinner are available starting from $35 USD.

"We've always believed that world-class entertainment and experiences worth remembering shouldn't be out of reach, and that is exactly what this season delivers," said Don Pickens, founder of Casa Cupula. "Every event we host is about belonging and finding your people. We don't just celebrate the occasion, we celebrate you!"

More Events to Celebrate

From sun-soaked pool days to candlelit dinners and holiday celebrations, Casa Cupula has something for every guest and every occasion. In addition to all the other events there is also a Welcome Atlantis Cruise party on November 10 where you can join the boyz for some land-based cruising, and the 2nd edition of Leather Fever Presented with Studs Bar & Pool Club WKND on November 19-22.

Tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite and at casacupula.com, and booking early means the best seats and best prices of the season.

Whether you're planning your first visit or returning to your favorite LGBTQ+ destination, the Fall & Winter 2026 season promises more entertainment, more excitement, and more reasons to celebrate than ever before.
