Neil Gerlowski, Director at the Vallarta Botanical Garden, announced the upcoming Vallarta Bird Festival 2017 held in collaboration with the University of Guadalajara’s Puerto Vallarta Campus (CUC). The event will take place from March 10 – 12 at both the university campus and the Vallarta Botanical Garden.

The festival will celebrate birds and offer various talks, conferences, initiatives and workshops. This year’s highlight will be the Mexican premiere of sculptor Todd McGrain’s documentary ‘The Lost Bird Project’, where he relates his mission to install memorial sculptures of some extinct bird species from North America in the places where they used to live. The documentary will be screened on March 10 at 1:00am at the university campus and again on March 11th at 11:00am at the Vallarta Botanical Garden.

Todd McGrain will be present during the two projections at the festival, where he is expected to answer questions from the public. Todd McGrain’s visit to the festival can serve as inspiration for the installation of one of his sculptures in our region.

The Vallarta Bird Festival 2017 is aimed at both bird enthusiasts and the general public. Admission for the activities held at CUC will be free of charge and those taking place at the Vallarta Botanical Garden will have a $150 pesos admission fee. You will find the Vallarta Bird Festival Activities Agenda below.

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."

“Vallarta Lifestyles is very helpful for someone who arrives for the first time to the destination, because through its content one can discover really nice places to visit. Besides, it is a guide for us as residents, because we know from a good source the new things we can do. People take the magazine and in one place they find hotels, restaurants, galleries, real estate and other featured services.”

“Vallarta Lifestyles is really well positioned. We are aware of that because we have seen people who arrive to our jewelry with the issue or the advertising in hand asking about the product that is featured there. This dynamic is really interesting for us and makes us glad.”
