First Annual PV Friendship and Freedom Community Celebration

 Home

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco – On Saturday, July 2, 2011, the Paradise Community Center will be hosting the first annual PV Friendship and Freedom Community Celebration. The event celebrates Canada Day (July 1) and US Independence Day (July 4), along with a thank you to our gracious Mexican hosts. The celebration will be from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm and feature live music from local musicians, a variety of activities, and singing of national anthems. Part of the fun will include a “Community Grill” where you can grill whatever food you bring. Hamburgers, foot-long hot dogs, veggie burgers, side dishes, and drinks will be available for purchase. While there is no set entrance fee, a $50 peso donation is suggested. The donation will go to the CompassioNet Children’s Feeding Program.

The Paradise Community Center is an 8,000 square foot venue for local events like concerts, fashion shows, meetings, fundraisers, and weddings. They are able to accommodate up to 200 guests and are probably best known for hosting the Old Town Farmer’s Market. The facility also features the Book and Bean Coffee Shop and is home to on-call hair stylist Alex David. The center’s motto is, “Good times, good food, good cause.” Why?
