The 11th edition of the I Madonnari Festival is taking place in Puerto Vallarta this weekend, November 11-13, at the city’s Main Plaza. The colorful pavement art event brings together a variety of local and visiting artists to express themselves using chalk or pastels. Artists wishing to participate can sign up in four different categories according to their age, and winners in each category receive cash prizes. The overall winner receives the opportunity to represent Puerto Vallarta in a similar event that takes place in Santa Barbara, California—a sister city—with all expenses paid.

I Madonnari is a perfect opportunity for locals and visitors to spend some time around Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón, and taking in the talent required to create artistic paintings directly on the pavement. Last year’s event brought together 93 participants, and organizers expect to increase the number this weekend. The first recorded street-painting competition and ‘festival’ was held in London in 1906. Since then, important I Madonnari festivals have been taking place on a regular basis in may important tourist destinations, worldwide.

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."
