Puerto Vallarta is gearing up for a vibrant fiesta with a purpose: the 6th Annual Mango Festival. Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 20th, because Lázaro Cárdenas Park, also known as El Parque de los Azulejos, is about to be transformed into a tropical fruit paradise.
This year’s festival, organized by the Puerto Vallarta-Highland Park Sister Cities Committee and championed by the municipal government, promises an explosion of flavor and fun. Local restaurants will be showcasing their culinary creativity, crafting delectable dishes, drinks, and desserts that pay homage to the undisputed King of Tropical Fruits – the mango! From tangy starters to melt-in-your-mouth desserts, prepare to have your taste buds tantalized by a symphony of mango magic.
But the deliciousness doesn’t stop there. The festival boasts a charitable heart. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be used to fund the construction of a brand new House of Culture in the Los Llanitos neighborhood of Ixtapa. This eco-friendly initiative aims to foster cultural exchange and provide a vibrant space for workshops and artistic exploration.
Family Fun for Everyone!
The 6th Annual Mango Festival caters to all ages. Get ready to be dazzled by lively musical performances, the intricate flourishes of charro rope demonstrations, and the hysterical antics of Papos y su Pandilla. For those seeking a more athletic spectacle, an exciting Lucha Libre match promises to leave you on the edge of your seat.
Free Entry, Endless Entertainment
Entrance to the festival is completely free, making it an accessible and delightful option for locals and tourists alike. To indulge in the mango extravaganza, simply purchase tickets (40 pesos each) and exchange them at the various stands for your chosen culinary delights. All activities will take place from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, ensuring a full day of mango-infused merriment.
