With the arrival of October, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit are gearing up for one of the most exciting times of the year. This month marks the beginning of a season filled with vibrant events, cultural traditions and unforgettable celebrations that attract locals and visitors alike.

Halloween

Each year Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón is transformed into a vibrant scene of colorful costumes, music, parades and an energy that can only be experienced in this city. Whether for families or those looking for a night of fun, Halloween in Puerto Vallarta offers a unique experience with the perfect blend of entertainment and excitement.

Día de Muertos

Just a few miles from Puerto Vallarta, the charming town of Sayulita celebrates Día de Muertos in a deeply moving way. The streets are filled with altars dedicated to deceased loved ones, adorned with marigold flowers and candles that light up the night. This festival, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, invites residents and visitors alike to join in a celebration of life and death, with the waves of the Pacific Ocean serving as the backdrop for this emotional commemoration.

Pilgrimages to the Virgin of Guadalupe

As December approaches, the traditional pilgrimages to the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church become one of the most important religious events in the region. The streets of downtown Puerto Vallarta are filled with devotees paying tribute to Mexico’s patron saint in an atmosphere of spirituality, music, dance and deep devotion.

New Year’s Eve Celebration

Of course, the crowning event of the year is none other than the grand New Year’s Eve celebration on Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón. Spectacular fireworks, live music and a festive atmosphere that envelops all attendees create the perfect recipe for welcoming in the New Year.

“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.”
