About the event

Festival Sayulita is a non-profit initiative that aims to raise funds to create a creative center for the community of Sayulita called El Centro. Once it’s completed, this project will feature several facilities—including green spaces, amphitheater, carpentry room and arts room—and will serve as a platform for local people to create sustainable products and develop community projects.

How to get there

From Puerto Vallarta, drive north along carretera 200 for approximately 45 minutes and follow the signed detour to Sayulita. If you are planning on attending the festival, we highly recommend to arrive a few hours earlier so you don’t have problems trying to find a parking space.
