Welcome to Another Day in Paradise.
Peace on earth, or just give me some peace.
The holidays come but once a year, and I’m thinking that’s
a good thing. Somewhere around mid-December, our “sleepy little fishing
village” wakes up and starts hopping. The streets fill up with visitors
and traffic and the number of events, activities and offerings multiply.
This is not my beautiful house, I can’t get out the driveway. This
is not my beautiful life, woe is to be working with so much fun going
on.
If you don’t want to take my word for it, check out our events page.
Coming up we have festivals, carnivals, events, exhibitions and extravaganzas,
and that was just what I was able to find out about.
January 8th, Coconuts hosts an exhibition with Lupina Lara Elizondo, in
conjunction with the second in an ongoing series of Zihuatanejo International
Guitar Festival Fund Raising events. Sponsor an artist ! A tremendous
group of international artists would like to come play in Zihua, airfare
sponsors are being sought for artists as close as California and as far
away as Brazil, British Columbia, England and India, be a part of an international
outpouring.
January brings in the blues, at the new Blue Mamou Blues Club, with the
beginning of a season’s long stretch of international guests appearing
nightly, don’t miss their January 18th official grand inauguration
blues blowout.
Zihua’s annual Sailfest comes back by the boat load, and our annual
cruiser contingent offers up a week of water related activities culminating
in a sail boat parade around the bay, fun family festival with the proceeds
benefiting local charities.
Por Fin ! Carnival comes back to Zihua after a 25 year hiatus, filling
the streets of Zihua with Mardi Gras revelry.
You should’ve stayed in last night, its January, there’s no
turning back now !
