Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Celebrating 26 years of artistry and innovation, The Palm Cabaret & Bar and its new sister venue, Coco Cabaret, continue to set the standard for live entertainment in Puerto Vallarta.
Situated just a five-minute stroll from the original venue, Coco Cabaret anchors itself in the center of the Zona Romántica, effectively doubling the array of premier entertainment options typically found at The Palm. This expansion allows for a more diverse rotation of performances, ensuring the neighborhood remains a primary destination for high-caliber shows.
Entering its second year of operation, the venue has curated a dynamic April schedule that balances fresh, original productions with beloved fan favorites. These performances are staged from Wednesday through Sunday nights, providing a consistent nightlife anchor for both locals and visitors throughout the spring season.
New shows this month include tributes to David Bowe, Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin and Janice Joplin. The Pink Tribute and the Bruno Mars Tribute return by popular demand! Drag stars Mama Tits, Tina Burner and Hedda Lettuce continue to entertain audiences in April. And a special fundraiser, Prima Petra V Element is scheduled for Sunday, April 5th at 5:00 pm.
Shows For The Month Of April Include:
Prima Petra V Element is a celebration of art, inclusion, sustainability, and community, a night where fashion becomes a vehicle for impact. An immersive fundraising fashion show and artistic experience produced by Gloria Fiona productions, inspired by the five elements, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and the Fifth Element. Each element comes to life through its own curated runway, featuring local models wearing looks styled with pieces from Segunda Vuelta Thrift Store and jewelry by Cassandra Shaw Jewelry. The Fifth Element, representing our shared humanity, is presented in collaboration with EDIN Puerto Vallarta, an organization that supports children and young people with Down syndrome. As part of the finale, EDIN students will create a mosaic artwork from broken pieces of Cassandra Shaw’s jewelry, which will be live auctioned. This symbolic piece reflects the belief that even when we feel broken or out of place, we can discover belonging, purpose, and even greater value. The evening will be hosted by Steven Retchless, with special performances by Gloria Fiona, Tromba Vetusta, Boys on Fire, and additional surprise guests. A live auction will feature the runway jewelry and curated wardrobe pieces. Funds raised beyond the value of each piece, along with the proceeds from ticket sales and the artwork, will be donated to support EDIN Puerto Vallarta. (Sunday, April 5th at 5:00 pm)
