Puerto Vallarta is preparing to receive seven new Blue Flag beaches next month, an international recognition of environmental quality, safety, and visitor services. The new certifications will further strengthen the city's reputation as a top beach destination.

Puerto Vallarta is launching a four-week citywide dengue control campaign, with health crews fogging every neighborhood and targeting mosquito hotspots. Officials are also urging residents to eliminate standing water to help reduce the spread of disease.

More than 10,000 people are expected to gather in Las Palmas on July 26 for the annual Paseada, a nearly century-old tradition featuring horseback rides, live music, regional food, and family fun. The celebration honors the community's rich rural heritage.
