February 8, 2019 |
 |
The second month of the year brings cultural festivals, gastronomy, technology, music, art, community development, and athletic competitions to the Riviera Nayarit, not to mention the many traditional festivities celebrated in the coastal villages.
A synergy was created between the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), the Bahía de Banderas Hotel and Motel Association (AHMBB), and the different sectors of the destination’s tourist industry to support these events, which not only generate occupancy and revenue, but also promote sports and culture among the area youth and boost local talent.
The Riviera Nayarit’s attributes make it stand out from any other destination: it’s modern and exclusive, but still holds tight to its traditional Mexican routes and its 23 villages are the ideal hosts for activities such as these:
Rincón de Guayabitos Festival of Arts and Culture (February 9, 16, and 23)
This is the 14th edition of this popular festival held every Saturday in February at the main plaza in Rincón de Guayabitos. This year’s edition will include a varied offer of cultural and artistic expressions. The festivals begin at 7:45 pm. More information HERE.
