The Fifth Capoeira Art Festival will take place in San Pancho, Riviera Nayarit, from April 7-10, gathering approximately 100 athletes from all over Mexico. The event will feature workshops and classes for all levels including beginner, intermediate and advanced, graduation ceremonies—known as the Batizada y Troca de Cordas—and conferences related to this Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. It will be attended by Marcia Cigarra, Mexican mestre, and Paulinho Velho and Everson, mestres from Brazil, who will share their expertise with the participants.

The festival represents an excellent opportunity for those who are interested in beginning their training, as the minimum age for registration is three-and-a-half years old. In addition, Capoeira Art Festival will offer interactive activities as acrobatics, music, singing, dinners, talks and everything that encompasses this discipline experience.

“I think the cultural change in the town has been monumental. San Pancho is more welcoming than ever, it’s more polite, more open to other disciplines and other art forms,” said Joel Carrizo, director of the Escuela Abadá Capoeira Nayarit and a member of the organizing committee.  

The Bodega del Circo de Los Niños, the Bodega Teatro and the Entre Amigos sports area are the venues hosting the event and access to the viewing public is free. For those who already practice the discipline, they can join the activities with prior registration. And for those who don’t, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about all the culture- and art-related activities taking place in the town.

San Pancho, also known as San Francisco, is considered the cultural capital of the Riviera Nayarit and it is located 45 minutes away from Puerto Vallarta by car, driving north along carretera 200.

“We have been clients of Vallarta Lifestyles since 1999, the year in which we arrived to this destination. Back then, it was the only publication where you could really do local marketing. These days, in spite of the arrival of new technologies, we keep advertising, because it is a really important complement for our marketing strategy.”

“Vallarta Lifestyles is a platform that allows us to reach the kind of market that we’re looking for. I think that, since its beginnings, 30 years ago, it has been the best publication of the destination. There’s no doubt that part of our success is for the advertising that we have in the magazine.”

“One of the biggest benefits of advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles is that a lot of readers keep it as a bible. People have arrived to our gallery looking for the pieces that are in the advertisements published 5 or 6 years ago, and that’s really valuable for us. Besides being an excellent magazine where is possible to find the newest in the destination, it is a publication dedicated to the public we want to reach and keep.”
