Puerto Vallarta

The Festivals scheduled to happen on May 10-20, 2018.  Sixteen dance groups from twelve Mexican states and four South American Countries will take part in the Folkloric Dance Festival, a festival that brings the colors, music and traditions of Mexico to life through dance.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Springtime, when everyone is full of excitement for rejuvenation, Folkloric Dance Festivals take place all over Latin America, including Puerto Vallarta. This year our festival, the Festival Vallarta Azteca del Folclor Internacional, is going to take place from May 10 until 20, 2018.

It is expected by Puerto Vallarta to host different countries to entertain us at different places, and we anticipate taking part each night, following our daily stroll on the Malecón with Pup. This year guest entertainers will come from Colombia, Peru, Chile & Bolivia.

We are extremely thankful to the organizers of this annual event GrupoFolklorico Vallarta Azteca, which is certified by the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF), a partner organization of UNESCO.

We are always thrilled to see performers in amazing outfits wandering on the streets prior to and after acts; we ask them to know which part of Mexico they belong to and affectionately welcome them to Puerto Vallarta.

The costumes alone are worth stepping out to turns heads at these shows. Before being accepted into the CIOFF program, it must be ascertained that regional dress is genuine and authentically constructed, and true to tradition as the dance and music. It is essential that acts symbolize the true traditions and culture and are inspired by a set of standards.

There is a heritage that has been moved on from generation to generation, constantly repeated and this must be characterized. A sense of individuality and connections are imperative to each performance, displaying variety, creativity, history, and natural regional settings.

Choreography is both time-honored and modern and is approved before hand. As highlighted by UNESCO, these shows are not only for entertainment but also are [in the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.]

Puerto Vallarta will be host to dancers, musicians and crafts-people from Chihuahua, Colima, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Sinaloa, Coahuila, Michoacan, D.F. (District Federal), Baja, Aguascalientes and other parts of Jalisco. Performances begin in the evenings at 7 pm on the above dates; the main venues are Parque Hidalgo, Los Arcos (The Arches) on the Malecón and at Agustín Flores Contreras Municipal Sports Stadium.
