Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - To set the stage for the Second Annual Puerto Vallarta Bugambilia Festival and announce all we have planned in May, the PV Garden Club is throwing a Gala Cocktail Party at the beautiful Casa Chickie in Coto San Xoaquin (Click HERE to download map) on February 27th from 6 to 8:30 pm.

Chickie built her home with the idea of hosting many charitable functions. It was designed with the largest private palapa roof of any home in Banderas Bay. There is a fabulous view of the bay, perfect for enjoying our spectacular sunsets. Now, new owners Nick and Larry are generously allowing the Vallarta Garden Club to host a cocktail party to "get the party started!"

Besides the gorgeous setting, food, wine, and entertainment will all be featured. A detailed description of the Opening Parade, the Floral Design Competition, the Afternoon Tea, and Mother's Day Brunch, plus much more, will be available at the party.

Tickets for the Gala Cocktail Party are $400 pesos, and can be obtained at Carol's Boutique on Basilio Badillo, Mailboxes Etc., Ignacio Vallarta 130 and Galería Dante on Basilio Badillo, or from a Garden Club Board Member, such as Matthias Vogt, (Tel: 222-4019, email: matthias.vogt(at)usa.net,) who will deliver your tickets in person.

Scheduled for May 9-11, 2014, the Bugambilia Festival is part of the PV Garden Club's efforts to make Puerto Vallarta the Bougainvillea Capital of the World. It is our desire to build the Bugambilia Festival into an International floral and cultural event becoming a powerful economic and tourism generator for Puerto Vallarta, drawing visitors from all over Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. This can only be brought to life by a committed group of forward-thinking and generous citizens that believe in the mission of the festival. Come share our vision.

We look forward to seeing you at Casa Chickie on February 27th!
