- Bucerias will be infused with color on January 18 – 20 with events like the Chalk Walk, the Taste of Riviera Nayarit and the Handcrafts Fair
Three years ago, The Art Walk Plaza, an organization dedicated
to the promotion of culture in Bucerías, organized the Chalk Festival for the
first time – known today as The Bucerías Chalk Art Walk – a competition that
assembles Mexican and international chalk artists, who create their work on the
streets.
The concept has evolved since then, integrating innovative
ideas like The Taste of Riviera Nayarit, a gastronomic fair that includes the
participation of the most important restaurants in town, and the Handcrafts
Fair, where different local artists will showcase their products, all within
the framework of the Street Festival.
In 2012, artists will compete to obtain the top awards with
chalk art designs inspired by Mexican cuisine. There’ll also be chalk-drawing
workshops for 150 children in Bucerías on Friday 20.
The Taste of Riviera Nayarit event will feature over 20 participating
restaurants, which will offer a ‘taste’ of their menu during the festival, with
prices of $10, $20, and $30 pesos.
It’s important to mention that during the three days of the
event, the Lázaro Cárdenas Street, which runs parallel to the beach in the Zona
Dorada area of Bucerías, will be closed to traffic between the streets of
Benito Juárez and Galeana, as there will be stands setup for restaurants and
for people selling handcrafts, while artists create their designs on the
pavement.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) of Riviera Nayarit
congratulates Christy Beguesse, founder of this movement, as well as every participant for
the strong impulse to the development of the economy in our destination, as
events like this contribute to promote and to help attract visitors to our
destination.
