This festival, which seeks to promote tourism in Bahía de Banderas, expects the arrival of 300 thousand visitors and an economic impact of 60 million pesos, with a total investment of 6 million pesos. “We want Bahía de Banderas to be increasingly known for its culture, its traditions and its beautiful beaches,” said the mayor.

There will also be a pilgrimage with candles, offerings and rondallas from the Sayulita plaza to the cemetery at Playa Los Muertos, as well as the Iron Swim Open Water tournament in Bucerías and a catrina contest in Sayulita.

Among the invited artists, various musical genres will be presented, highlighting Caloncho, Vaqueros Musical, La Sonora Dinamita and Banda de la Rosa. The objective of this festival is also to unite all the municipalities of the state of Nayarit. “I want to share with you with pleasure that I have already received confirmation from the majority of the municipalities of Nayarit that will be present at the different activities of this great festival that, for the first time, is organized by Bahía de Banderas,” said the president.

“We are in a position to offer the best experiences for Nayarit and the world in these three days.” The mayor announced that on Tuesday, October 29 at 7 pm the first catrina will be unveiled in Sayulita and at 8:30 pm the second will be unveiled in Bucerías.

For his part, the director of Tourism, Omar Dávila, added that “more than 40 floats will be accompanying the first day of the inauguration,” and that on the pilgrimage on November 1 there will be more than 10 mariachis in the Sayulita cemetery.
