Live Music & Dancing with Locals in Downtown Vallarta
Once you’ve warmed up your dancing skills, it’s time to take the party into the heart of the city. Your guide will lead a relaxed stroll through downtown Puerto Vallarta toward the lively Malecón, where the music is always flowing. Depending on the evening, you’ll visit a local Cuban-style dance club with live Latin bands or join the community dancing in the town square. With a celebratory cocktail in hand and live music all around you, it’s a joyful moment that captures the true spirit of Puerto Vallarta.
Sunday nights are especially magical, when local families gather in front of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church at the main plaza while live bands play in the historic kiosk.
