the Puerto Vallarta DAILY CALENDAR
August 12 to 19, 2012
Updated August 13, 8 am
The Puerto Vallarta Daily Schedule of Events is continually updated. Last-minute additions and corrections are frequent. Click on most listings for more information about individual events.
It is officially “low” season now and Puerto Vallarta becomes a town again and not just a destination. The thunderstorms at night are beautiful and refreshing. The days are hot but not steamy. The sun is bright and people are friendlier than in the winter months (probably from the lower stress levels).
