About LGBTQ+ Medellín
Medellín's gay scene centers on El Poblado, the city's upscale tourist district, with the nightlife clustered around Parque Lleras, plus venues spread through Laureles and downtown Candelaria. Viva Discoteca is a large club with multiple dance floors, alongside live music and drag at Bar Chiquita and the terrace scene at Donde Aquellos. Medellín Pride lands in late June with a parade and a big circuit weekend. Known for its spring-like climate, the city pairs an easygoing pace with a fast-growing gay scene.
