the Puerto Vallarta DAILY CALENDAR
March 16 to March 23, 2008
The Puerto Vallarta Daily Schedule of Events is continually updated. Last-minute additions and corrections are frequent. Click on listings for more information about individual events. Salud.
If listings seem a tad skimpy this week and the next, folks, remember that this is the most popular holiday of the year here. Two weeks of non-stop partying and good times.
The first week is generally for families and the second week is for the younger, more “hip” crowd. All you have to do is head for the concentrations of people (the malecón, the beach) to find plenty to do. You don’t need a listing for anything right now.
If I were in my 20s-30s, I’d head out to the raves at Boca de Tomates on the 22nd and 26th. That’s where the action will be for this age group. If I were older, I’d head for the beach (bring lots of sunblocker — the sun is about as strong as it’s going to get here).
