A new festival is coming to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico next month. Collab Week will take place from December 2-8, 2025. The organizers are promoting it as an opportunity for content creators for subscription sites such as JustFor.Fans to hook up with other creators and capture a wealth of content over the course of just a few days.
One comment we’ve heard often from such content creators is that coming up with new videos to post every week can become challenging. Collab Week is one way to make things easier.
One of those attending is Tony Lobo (@scruffy_lobo on Instagram). He told GayCities his main reason for booking his flight to Mexico.

“Honestly, it seemed like an easy place to collab with many guys at one time. We are all there for the same reason, so it’s easier to make connections and schedule sessions with each other.
“Connecting with other content creators can be a challenge because we all have stuff going on in our regular lives or day jobs, etc. But for this event, we are all here for the purpose of filming. It’s like a work field trip … and who doesn’t want a tax-deductible excuse to go to Puerto Vallarta for a week!?”
JustFor.Fans run a similar event each spring in Palm Springs. However, they recognise that not everyone can easily jet into Palm Springs.
“JustFor.Fans has an annual model conference in the USA that attracts over 600 models,” the organizers of Collab Week told us. “But not every model can easily get to the states. This includes Latin American models, European models, Asian models, and more. We are planning collab weeks all around the world, and PV is our first one outside of our annual conference. We are incredibly excited about it.”
They told GayCities they chose Puerto Vallarta because, “JustFor.Fans has hundreds of models in Mexico, and thousands in Latin America.” It’s expecting “150-200 creators to attend.”
Event also open to fans and other visitors
However, Collab Week is not just open to those wanting to video themselves. Fans can also attend special events alongside content creators.
The week’s host hotel is The Almar. Filming sessions for creators will take place at Mantamar (in private cabanas), Industry nightclub, Spartacus Bathhouse and on Jet’s N*ked Boat Tour, which will include a stop-off at a private beach.
Events where fans and creators can mingle take place over the weekend of December 5-8. This includes hanging out at the Mantamar pool over the whole weekend, and an underwear party and white party at Industry (on Friday and Saturday night, respectively).
Collab Week has over a dozen “ambassadors” promoting and attending the event. And it’s not only open to JustFor.Fans creators. Anyone producing subscriber content is welcome to apply to attend.
As you’re probably already aware, Puerto Vallarta is Mexico’s most gay-friendly beach destination. It boasts plenty of queer bars, clubs, and businesses. With year-round sunshine, it’s also now entering its peak winter season. December is a great time to visit.
