Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Basilio Badillo may have seen a lot of changes over the last 30 years, but it's always been known as one of Vallarta's best shopping areas. And it just keeps getting better! Starting Friday, November 16th, this beautiful bougainvillea-lined street in the heart of Old Town will welcome the return of the South Side Shuffle!

Now in its ninth year, the South Side Shuffle transforms the always bustling street into a sensory delight. Every other Friday from 6 to 10 pm, you will find friends, neighbors and musicians while wandering up and down Basilio Badillo and stopping in to visit the participating businesses that offer refreshments and a festive shopping environment.

A perfect combination of culture, cocktails, music, hanging out with old friends and making new ones, the South Side Shuffle is not an art walk; nevertheless participating galleries feature special art exhibitions, like the ones at Galleria Dante that give you the opportunity to meet different local, national and international artists throughout the season.

Along the way, you can explore the art galleries, shops and boutiques that offer everything from fine art and Mexican pottery to folk art, jewelry and resort wear, stop for a bite to eat, a cocktail and conversation, or to dance in the street to music performed by some of Puerto Vallarta's most popular musicians.

The fiesta hits the streets of Basilio Badillo and Constitución every other Friday from 6-10 pm, so make plans now to come out and be part of the only ongoing party of its kind in all of Puerto Vallarta.

In addition to the businesses participating in the South Side Shuffle, there also many other wonderful shops, restaurants and galleries in the vicinity that are not to be missed while enjoying these bi-weekly events, scheduled to take place November 16 & 30 and December 14, 21 & 28, 2018, and on January 11 & 25, February 8 & 22, March 8 & 22 and April 5, 2019.
