Organizers of the Fairyland: Puerto Vallarta’s Queer House Music Festival have officially confirmed that the event will move forward as planned, taking place at Mantamar Beach Club from March 12 – 15, 2026. Despite recent local unrest, officials state the city has “returned to its vibrant rhythm” and all tourism services, including hotels and nightlife, are fully operational.
The event is returning for its second edition, promising to be a groundbreaking celebration of house music, love, and community.
Hosted by Almar and Mantamar in association with Brian Kent Productions, this four-day extravaganza will transform the stunning Mantamar Beach Club into a pulsating, inclusive oasis. Billed as the first-ever queer house music festival anywhere, and certainly the first on a Mexican beach, Fairyland is setting a new standard for music events in Puerto Vallarta.
The 2026 lineup is a powerhouse of more than 20 world-class DJs and producers, featuring legendary names such as The Shapeshifters, David Penn, Horse Meat Disco, and Shermanology; as well as the freshest emerging stars in the house music world.
“This is our second year and once again, we are bringing a caliber of DJs, the likes of which Vallarta had never seen in the past,” stated festival producer Brian Kent, in a recent interview.
