Primary school Revolucion Mexicana and Sayulimpia teamed up this Wednesday morning to perform a river clean up, in order to clean the trash from Sayulita's riverbed. They implemented this project just before the start of the rainy season, in order to keep it from flowing into our ocean and onto our beaches! Talk about pre-emptive and pragmatic!

Festival Sayulita 2014 is calling you to our paradise!

Three promising Optimist sailors from the state of Nayarit have been selected to represent Mexico in international competitions during July 2013. Partially sponsored by Todo Vela Mexico, these sailors need additional help to cover their expenses. Keven Avila, a local Sayulita secondary student is one of the participants invited to compete in Bermuda at the North American competition.

Right away I have to tell you that escaramuza means "skirmish" and what it is, in horse parlance, is a group of women, beautifully costumed, showing off their excellent equestrian skills. And, from what I saw last Sunday at the riding circle, it was exciting for viewers and very difficult for the women doing the riding.

This past Wednesday, April 17, Toilarte Gallery opened and closed on the same cool evening in the upstairs powder room at Casa Elisa in Sayulita. Many artists and art lovers attended the event. In the small, 50-square--foot square gallery, a large group of paintings was hung and several paintings were sold.

YamBak Bar, on the southeast corner of the plaza, is prepared to take Semana Santa to the next level with an amazing music line-up, home brews, and a schedule to keep us rockin’ till the wee hours of the morning. Even the inside has gotten a fresh new look displaying local artist Zoey Glavicich and works from the famous José Guadalupe Posada.
