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.

"Since we started the company we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles, a publication that is considered ‘Puerto Vallarta’s Magazine’ by the quality of its images, content and staff, unique characteristics that encouraged us to say: ‘We have to be in Vallarta Lifestyles’. We know that this magazine is a reference for the target market that we are looking for and we know that being there gives us prestige.”

“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 has readers from Punta de Mita to Mismaloya and beyond, so announcing my business, means the positioning and recognition of my agency throughout the region. The contents of the magazine are very interesting, because they provide relevant information about activities in the destination. I am pleased to see it at hotels, restaurants and galleries, but what excites me the most is to see people with their issue in hand. That is really relevant for us.”
