International Day of the Book » Thursday, April 23 » Public Reading
Each year, Internatioinal Book Day, April 23, is celebrated in much of the world by the public reading of a book. Puerto Vallarta is joined in this celebration with Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Golden Bug,” a story of adventure and mystery.
The public is invited Thursday, from 11 am to participate in this reading, which will be made simultaneously at the Los Arcos Amphitheater (in Spanish) and in Park Lázaro Cárdenas (in English).
All persons participating in the reading will receive the book “Tres Municipios” by Professor Manuel Gómez Encarnación, Chronicler of the city. It tells the history of Puerto Vallarta.
The reading will be from 11 am until 6 pm in both locations. If you want to register for a specific time slot, you can do this by calling (in English or Spanish) the Culture Department at 223 0095 or 113 0107, or you may simply show up on the event and wait your turn.
