Mexico City authorities are implementing a comprehensive security and order operation for the 48th LGBT+ Pride March, focusing on controlling alcohol sales to ensure a safe and peaceful event. The march will proceed from the Ángel de la Independencia to the Zócalo, with a stage set up at Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas for those who wish to stay there.

A total of 120 public servants from the Subsecretaría de Programas de Alcaldías y Reordenamiento de la Vía Pública will work to curb the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in public spaces. This measure aims to maintain order and safety throughout the day's activities.

Additionally, a Group for Dialogue and Coexistence, comprising various secretariats including the Unidad de Atención a la Diversidad Sexual, will be present. This group will facilitate ongoing dialogue, address any incidents that arise, and help prevent conflicts. The Zócalo will be accessible to attendees, with capacity limits and designated entry points to manage crowds, especially given the ongoing FIFA Fan Fest.
