Puerto Vallarta March Calendar
Puerto Vallarta March Calendar
March is one of the most exciting times of year in Puerto Vallarta, bridging the vibrant cultural celebrations from the early part of the year with the frenetic festivities of the spring and summer months. Visitors who find themselves on the shores of the Banderas Bay during March enjoy a unique opportunity to experience the area from a historic, educational and revelrous perspective.
Ash Wednesday: First Wednesday of March
In a reflection of the nation's Catholic roots, Ash Wednesday is an extremely significant day on the local calendar. On this day, both local and international churchgoers attend religious services at churches throughout the city, including the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadelupe that stands tall above downtown Puerto Vallarta with its distinctive crown. Here, services are given in English and Spanish to invite all the local faithful to come together in fellowship and reverence.
Benito Juarez Day- March 21st
The 21st of March is dedicated to observing the life and contributions of Benito Juarez, an honored former president who was instrumental in the development of Mexico as we know it today. By instilling “Juarez Law” while serving as the country's leader, Juarez was able to bring the nation closer to total equality by transferring a greater level of control to the indigenous peoples of the land and catalyzing the country's march toward democracy. It is a national holiday in Mexico, and many local observations are held in honor of this highly influential defender of freedom.
Last Week of March- Spring Break Begins
For high school and college students across the country, the final week of March is the beginning of Spring Break season. Puerto Vallarta is one of the premier destinations in Mexico for groups who look to spend their hiatus making lifelong memories under abundant Mexican sunshine, making it a great time to visit for travelers who enjoy experiencing new people. This high octane party season hits its peak through April and May after getting its start this week, making it a great time to enjoy an extended stay in Mexico's friendliest city.
The local spirit of celebration runs through the full calendar, drawing countless travelers to this cunny city by the sea every year to join the party.
