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.

“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 speaks for itself, it’s a good quality publication with great image, that’s why we have advertised since we started our business. Without any doubt, it is the most read magazine. Its articles and advertising are target to the audience we’re looking for. Vallarta Lifestyles has grown the same way Puerto Vallarta has.”
