When the sun drops behind Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta is just getting started. Nights here run from sunset happy hours on the Malecón to 9 PM cabaret and drag headliners in the Romantic Zone (Act II, The Palm, Mr. Flamingo), late-night dance floors in Olas Altas that don't close until 4–6 AM, and multi-set live-music rooms like Roxy Rock House and Incanto. Below is this week's actual after-dark lineup — shows, drag, dance nights, and live music starting 5 PM and later — pulled from the same calendar locals check.
Tip: tap any event for set times, cover charge (most are free or low-cover), and the venue address. For the daytime picture too, see our full things to do in Puerto Vallarta guide.
