Puerto Vallarta’s Arts in the Dark

                                                                                         

Night-time in Puerto Vallarta can be absolutely stunning, especially when the weather cooperates. The shimmering sunlight of daytime gives way to an entirely different kind of energy after sunset. The city seems to dress for the occasion: the breeze caresses you face as you walk along the Malecón; twinkle lights glitter around the zocalo. The evening is calling, so put on some real clothes and step out of your Puerto Vallarta Vacation rental for an after-hours adventure.

Okay, you’re not the type who enjoys clubbing, and you wouldn’t be caught dead with a karaoke mike in your hands. You can stop hyperventilating . . . there are plenty of ways you can use your energy and ambition (or lack thereof) under the light of the moon, the silvery moon, to enjoy some great singing and dancing.

A fine act to follow
Do you like theater? While it might not be at the top of everyone’s list, Puerto Vallarta is home to two theatres that offer delightful entertainment. The students and staff at Centro Universitario de al Costa have a lot going on, and some of it happens in the evening. You can check the school’s website, if your Spanish reading skills are up to speed, or you can look for theater and film events in the local newspapers.

The Santa Barbara Theater, at Olas Altas 351, features productions of English-language musicals during the winter season. For an additional charge, you can make it a dinner theater experience. This is a local theater group, not quite ready for a Broadway opening, which does nothing to diminish the entertainment quotient.

For love of the dance
Another winter favorite (late October through April) is the Old Town artWalk. A number of different galleries in Old Town stay open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., enticing visitors to come in by tempting them with tapas and beverages. This is your chance to enjoy colorful folk art, beautiful pieces in glass and ceramic, and lovely art jewelry while you totally ignore that “No food or beverages” rule.

And there is simply no way you can say “no” to the vivid colors, brilliant music and electric vitality of the Grupo Folklórico Municipal Xiutla. The young people who dance with this group have been around the world performing, and they are frequently found flashing their heels somewhere in Puerto Vallarta. So put on your glad rags and head out the door; you’ll present a dashing picture when you depart your Puerto Vallarta Vacation Rental for a night of arts in the dark.
