- Over 300 Volkswagen cars from more than 14 different cities in Mexico are expected to arrive; this year two newly modified cars will be unveiled.
On Saturday April 9th and Sunday April 10th Rincón
de Guayabitos will welcome the seventeenth edition of Guayafest, a traditional
expo festival for classic and modified Volkswagen cars held in the Riviera
Nayarit.
About 300 of these German-designed cars will converge on the streets of
Guayabitos during this family-oriented event, among them Bugs, combis and other
retro styles.
The organizers—TPC Bugs Club and the Asociación
Nacional de Clubes Vocheros de México—announced the unveiling of two new, recently
modified cars.
The parade will take place on Saturday afternoon and will also tour the
neighboring towns of Los Ayala and La Peñita de Jaltemba. The expo will happen
on the main plaza starting early on Sunday morning; the plaza, by the way, has
been recently remodeled and is anticipating a grand re-opening.
The variety of sponsors including the Riviera Nayarit Convention and
Visitors Bureau and the Compostela Hotel and Motel Association, as well as the
backing of the local authorities, guarantee the safety, fun and success of this
very important event for Guayabitos.
This is an event of great interest for the domestic market and includes
the participation of vocheros (Bug
enthusiasts) from Nayarit, Jalisco, and the Bajío, Pacific, Northern and
Central regions of the country. There are over 30 categories that subdivide the
participants in order to choose the best-preserved classic car or one with the
most attractive modifications.
As happens every year, the Guayafest takes place after Holy Week and
Easter in order to extend the excellent tourist season that occurs during those
dates. The organization of this event has been an excellent decision, as it has
since become a yearly anchor attraction for the Riviera Nayarit with over a
thousand attendees.
When will they be in La Penita:-)
