March is one of the most exciting times of year in Puerto Vallarta, bridging the vibrant cultural celebrations from the early part of the year with the frenetic festivities of the spring and summer months.

Ash Wednesday: First Wednesday of March
In a reflection of the nation's Catholic roots, Ash Wednesday is an extremely significant day on the local calendar. On this day, both local and international churchgoers attend religious services at churches throughout the city, including the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadelupe that stands tall above downtown Puerto Vallarta with its distinctive crown. Here, services are given in English and Spanish to invite all the local faithful to come together in fellowship and reverence.
Benito Juarez Day- March 21st
(CDMX - Benito Juárez Hemicycle)
The 21st of March is dedicated to observing the life and contributions of Benito Juarez, an honored former president who was instrumental in the development of Mexico as we know it today. By instilling “Juarez Law” while serving as the country's leader, Juarez was able to bring the nation closer to total equality by transferring a greater level of control to the indigenous peoples of the land and catalyzing the country's march toward democracy. It is a national holiday in Mexico, and many local observations are held in honor of this highly influential defender of freedom.
