Puerto Vallarta will be celebrating the First Annual Bugambilia (Bougainvillea) Festival from May 17-24, 2013.

Following two years of arduous work and preparation by Puerto Vallarta’s garden club, the event celebrates the multiple species of bugambilia that adorn the city’s streets as well as promote the destination’s unique biodiversity through a series of public events.

Among the events featured during this weeklong festival, will be a candle-light procession down the Malecon, a block party on the Basilio Badillo art gallery zone, downtown walking tours, bus tours to Vallarta Botanical Gardens, Mexican folkloric dance and mariachis performances as well as an English-themed tea party at Hacienda San Angel hotel.
