The Fiestas Patrias in Puerto Vallarta are an unbeatable opportunity to enjoy exquisite Mexican cuisine, get caught up in the emotion of Mariachi music, and taste Tequila and other spirits while shouting Viva México!
With live music, dancing and typical antojitos mexicanos, the Plaza de Armas (Main Square) in Downtown Puerto Vallarta is transformed into a popular family celebration.
The traditional Grito de Independencia ceremony, at around midnight on September 15, makes way for a vibrant fireworks display from the Los Arcos del Malecon amphitheater.
The following day, don't miss the Independence Day Parade. It features school contingents, the fire department, charros and skirmishes along Puerto Vallarta's Malecon.
