Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - It was a night of family fun in Puerto Vallarta, as a record-setting 60 entries, led by Voice of Vallarta Grand Marshalls, rolled through downtown to celebrate Mardi Gras Carnaval 2015.
Everyone was in a dancing mood as the floats coasted over the cobblestone streets, pumping music into the air. Children and adults snapped up beads, toys, and candy as parade entries hurled armfuls of goodies to the eagerly awaiting crowd, which City Officials estimated at 30,000 people.
This year's event combined the party spirit with a competitive spirit as judges tallied votes for the most creative entry to award the anxiously-awaited cash prize. Paco's Ranch captured the honors with their entry that truly wowed the crowd along the 3.5 kilometer route. Andale/Andales on the Bay, Eddie's on the River, Taste Restaurant @ Casa Cupula and Kim Kuzma all received Honorable Mention accolades.
Event organizers Gary Green and Tim Longpré expressed thanks to all of the volunteers, parade entries, City Officials, Sky Studio, and Guillermo Hernández Palafox, who created the logo for this year's event.
