Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The holiday spirit is already shining at Marina Vallarta, where the popular Art & Market is shifting its Christmas week edition to Tuesday, December 23. Originally planned for December 25, the rescheduled event ensures that both residents and visitors can enjoy the celebration while still preserving the cherished tradition of spending Christmas Day with family. The regular weekly editions of the market will proceed as scheduled this week and next, on Thursday, December 11th and 18th, from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
Antonio García López, manager of the Marina Vallarta Residents Association, noted that the change keeps the event’s tradition strong while supporting the needs of the community. He explained that organizers are working closely with vendors and authorities so that everything runs smoothly and retains the market’s familiar charm.
The decision reflects the importance of Christmas Day gatherings, a time typically reserved for sharing meals, exchanging gifts, and spending meaningful moments with loved ones. By hosting the Art & Market two days earlier, locals and tourists alike can enjoy last-minute holiday shopping, festive entertainment, and an evening filled with seasonal celebration.
What makes the Art & Market truly special is its full sensory experience. Guests can explore handmade goods, sample delicious food and drinks, listen to live music, and take in Marina Vallarta’s iconic sunsets—all contributing to an atmosphere that captures the joy of the season.
With the December high season in full swing, Marina Vallarta’s growing mix of international visitors and local residents brings added energy to the event. The result is a lively cultural gathering where traditions, creativity, and community come together.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 23, and get ready to celebrate the holidays at Marina Vallarta’s Art & Market—an evening that blends art, commerce, and the welcoming spirit of this coastal community.
