POSH festival set to return to Puerto Vallarta and early-bird passes are now on sale
What is POSH, and what can you expect from next July’s event?
Mark
The organizers of POSH PVR Escape have announced details of their second gathering. It will take place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, between July 24 and 27, 2026.
POSH PVR Escape first took place earlier this year. It’s organized by Exec Eventz. The group arranges corporate and entertainment industry events, as well as runs regular POSH parties.
Exec Eventz launched in October 2017 with a POSH Halloween party at the upmarket Pepsi Kola House lounge in New York City’s Meatpacking District. The success of that venture led to monthly events in NYC.
The group later expanded to other cities, including Atlanta and Los Angeles. They now run a tour of POSH pop-ups in cities like DC, Miami, Houston, Dallas, and international cities such as Toronto, Paris and London.
POSH events are usually centered around Pride festivals in their respective cities or other cultural moments of interest to the LGBTQ community, such as fashion week in Paris or the Art Basel in Miami.

Seven separate parties
The POSH PVR Escape will be based at the luxurious, beachfront Almar Resort. It’s billed as an “elevated experience crafted for LGBTQ+ travelers who crave luxury, culture, and connection.”
You can expect seven different day parties and nighttime club events, along with the option of oceanfront wellness mornings and spa treatments.
The itinerary will include a welcome party at Eden Rooftop, a White Party, a pool party at Mantamar Beach Club, a Posh Sunday Brunch at Skybar Rooftop, and a Posh ocean-cruising Yacht Day on Monday, July 27.
Early-bird offers
POSH has now launched its Early Bird Sale, running through January 2nd. Attendees will receive 15% off all All Access Passes, unlocking entry to the full weekend lineup (excluding designated add-on experiences).
Checking the website, this is currently on sale at $246.29, which allows entry to the seven different parties over the weekend, including the yachting excursion.
If you want to stay at the host hotel, Almar, it needs to be booked separately. However, that’s also offering a discount, too, if you use the “poshescape” code to book those dates.
If you don’t want to book an all-party pass, or if you will be in Puerto Vallarta at that time and just want to check out individual events, you can buy individual party passes. However, those won’t go on sale until April 1, 2026.
“Always elevating”
In a statement to GayCities, Jay Isak, founder of POSH, said the inaugural Mexico festival earlier this year, “was magical because it was the first of its kind in Puerto Vallarta, anchored in R&B and hip-hop, transforming Almar into a fully curated, elevated experience. From towel service on arrival to redesigned décor, performers, and intentional space for real connection, we raised the bar.”
Looking ahead to next summer’s event, they said, “In 2026, I’m most excited about Yacht Day. We are bringing a European Yacht Week-style moment to the LGBTQ+ community traveling to PVR. We’re always POSH and always elevating.”
They also stress that POSH events are open to all members of the LGBTQ community.
“All are welcomed. We cater to the full spectrum. Members of the trans community are often hosts and a part of our campaign so that community supports us, too.”
