things culture and art in Riviera Nayarit, this festival in San Pancho – the

Children of San Pancho." Since then, the children have been able to put on
breathtaking annual performances in a town that continues to be culturally
inspired and takes pride in investing in the arts of the community – and this
year is expected to be no different.
