Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The 3rd Annual Riverfest is being held on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at El Rio BBQ to benefit the special needs children of Puerto Vallarta. Fancy the chance to unwind, enjoy some excellent live music AND support a fantastic local charity? Well, this is the event for you!

Riverfest 2014 will run from 12 noon to 7 pm and promises to be a fantastic afternoon of entertainment featuring live bands, excellent food (El Rio's speciality!), unique vendors, and loads of fun in a gorgeous venue along the River Cuale.

A star-studded line-up of musicians, including Arturo, Eulogio de la Cruz Carrillo (Huicholes), Kim Kuzma, Chris Kenny Band, Texas Embassy Blues Band, and Los Bambinos, will entertain you throughout the afternoon as you enjoy the natural beauty of El Rio BBQ's excellent riverside location - for a donation of $50 pesos, plus refreshment costs.

Proceeds from Riverfest 2014 will benefit Pasitos de Luz ('Little Steps of Light'), one of Puerto Vallarta's longest-established and most worthwhile non-profit organizations. Pasitos de Luz provides care for disabled children from low-income families and is a lifeline in the local community.

Come down to El Rio, grab a margarita and support a great cause! It's as simple as that.
