13th Bahía de Banderas Marlin and Tuna Tournament (July 18-20)
 
Organized by the Bahía de Banderas Fishing Club, this traditional sport fishing event returns to the waters offshore the Riviera Nayarit on July 18-20, 2019. Nuevo Vallarta’s Vallarta Yacht Club will host this tournament, which attracts the best fishermen in Mexico and abroad.

Experts consider Mexico’s Pacific Treasure as one of the top destinations for sport fishing. There is a fantastic diversity of marine species along its 300-kilometer (186-mile) coastline that guarantees excellent catches any time of the year.

VII Sea Turtle Festival (July 20 – 21)

It’s turtle nesting and hatchling liberating season on Playa Platanitos — a coastal village in the Riviera Nayarit located in the municipality of Compostela — which means everyone is preparing for the VII Sea Turtle Festival, held July 20-21, 2019. The goal for the event is to promote environmental awareness and the conservation of the sea turtle, besides boosting tourism in a community with less than 100 inhabitants who live mostly from commerce, fishing, and sustainable tourism.

The Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) supports more than 80 events of all kinds via its Groups and Events desk throughout the year. These actions markedly increase the number of visitors, benefitting the region’s entire tourism service industry.
