2016 is not over yet, but Riviera Nayarit is hard at work promoting exciting events that will take place early 2017. “As a tourism destination we are known for hosting dozens of events throughout the year, and that’s exactly how we’re ending 2016 and kicking off 2017,” said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit Conventions and Visitors Bureau.

Some of the events we can all look forward to, include the following:

Vallarta Cup Race Series (January 7, 14, 21 and 28)

About 20 sailboats will participate in this series of races, which not only serve as competition, but also inspire moments of camaraderie among the assistants thanks to the traditional Saturday theme parties held after every race at the Vallarta Yacht Club in Nuevo Vallarta.

Art Festival (January 7, 14, 21 and 28)

The festival starts in January and continues through the high season, presenting artwork to strengthen cultural tourism in the Riviera Nayarit. Every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. different artists will gather at the Marina Nuevo Vallarta for an exhibition of paintings and sculpture.

2° Boom Beach Festival (January 14 and 15)

It’s all about fun during this Stand Up Paddle (SUP) and surfing competition in Lo de Marcos, organized to promote sports and environmental awareness. This is a great excuse to go camping for a weekend and try out your balance on a board. Details are available on Facebook.

Our Lady of Peace Patron Saint Festivities (January 16 – 24)

In order to celebrate their patron saint, local citizens head out on a maritime pilgrimage on their gaily-festooned boats from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle to Bucerías.

XIII San Blas International Migratory Bird Festival (TBD)

San Blas is undoubtedly one of the top migratory and endemic bird watching areas on the continent. Several artistic and cultural activities revolving around the birds will be held during the festival, as well as tours along the traditional observation routes. Details are available on Facebook.

Faith Colectiva

“Vallarta Lifestyles has helped us a lot to position our business, the fact that people see us in the magazine has contributed their coming back to Faith Colectiva. Actually, we have measured the reach of our advertising by offering a free gift and it is unbelievable to see them coming with the issue.”

Thierry Blouet

Owner

Café des Artistes

“We have been advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles since the opening of our restaurant, and since then, we have kept a strong relationship. Due to its scope and distribution, the campaigns that we advertised regarding our different culinary projects have always been a success. This magazine has been consolidated as a benchmark that promotes the beauty of our destination in a creative and effective way.”

Claire Guarniere

Owner

Galleria Dante

“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.”
