10 Concerts & Shows in Puerto Vallarta That You Shouldn't Miss

January 3, 2022 Jeremy Dunfee

Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

Steven’s show was incredibly entertaining. He sings and has a great voice, he tells stories which makes you really like him personally, he’s a great dancer, and of course, amazing pole dancer. I was very inspired by his confidence and talent.

Murder in Mexico Puerto Vallarta

Exciting murder mystery dinner theatre has come to gorgeous Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, starting Wednesday 26th October 2016. Have a drink with the cast, then get involved in the hilarious mystery story(s), try to figure out who did the murder, and how, and why, and have enough fun to almost die laughing. Killer fun? Hell yeah, particularly if you choose to play a role as a suspect.

Enjoy a boat ride across the bay, taking in the views along the way, to a candle and torchlit, private beach hideaway. See Mexico’s past come alive through dance and music during an enchanting theatrical performance followed by a delicious seaside dining experience under the stars.

Teatro Vallarta

It's a very modern 960 seat theater for traveling shows as well as a local company.

A group of friends went to see this production and was blown away. The performers were incredibly skilled in each of their roles. It was beyond worth what we paid for including the service from the wait staff. We have been to many shows here and want to recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience here in PV! Mayahuel is a secrete everyone should know about. I will be bringing all my visiting friends to see this show!

Upstairs at Nacho Daddy

Nacho Daddy sort of a tropical “House of Blues” a great place to catch your favorite sports event on one of the many large screen tv’s or mingle with the locals. The best part of Nacho Daddy is the MUSIC! Without a doubt the place in to enjoy PV’s vibrant music scene. Nacho Daddy Restaurant & Bar features a repertoire of outstanding musicians from all over the North American continent.

The Boutique Theatre

THIS IS OUR STORY... With the need for a community theatre The Boutique was born in 2011 with an incredible amount of passion and showcasing a variety of English and Spanish speaking talent.

Ever wished you were one of those people who attended a legendary show or jam, like the Stones at El Mocambo ( Toronto, Canada) , so close that the sweat flew off the performers onto you? This kind of intimacy between performer and audience is a rare thing to find nowadays. Well, now you can attend an amazing show- Billie Holiday songs, with some accurate ( not maudlin) history thrown in, right here in PV. Our star has a lovely range and delivers the songs with heart, with the assistance of her two accompanists.Local does not translate to sloppy. Front row seats and the sound at the right level. If you book with dinner, one of your choices is top rate real filet mignon with the best key lime pie I found in PV. Service tries hard and the washrooms are clean. You need to be able to navigate stairs, as it is located above Nacho Daddy. If you can’t fit in Billie, go for the Patsy Cline show in March! r

Incanto

Cabaret, Piano Bar & Cafe! Incanto features an eclectic offering of world-class entertainment in both our lower level 90 seat cabaret/theater, and in our intimate piano bar space on the second floor. Incanto takes its name from the charming and elegant setting along the Rio Cuale that divides old town from centro in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Cafe/food available soon!

Reviewed By nelsonp

While Incanto is probably more well known for its crooners and comedians in the Piano Bar, musical performances in the theatre (on hiatus during Covid), the hilarious Aunt Pearl bingo game on Saturdays and open mike night, Incanto recently added a weekend brunch, 11-1 PM Friday-Sunday. This brunch is not to be missed, owing to the superb musical entertainment provided. Caleb and Jair Cabrera Ceballos, brothers, the lead guitarists in the band Luna Media, sometimes with a lovely violinist, are mesmerizing. Virtuoso Spanish guitar, flamenco, and Latin music, it is hard to take one’s eyes off the fingering. The three are accomplished musicians. The menu offers breakfast or lunch dishes that do not disappoint. The coffee is noteworthy, as are the mimosas and margaritas and a full bar of other beverages. The wait staff cannot do enough for you. The food is delish. I alternate between eggs benedict, and 3 eggs with meat, as you like it. Friends have had burgers, pancakes, salads, sandwiches, always finishing happy and satisfied. Incanto is located on Insurgentes, at Rio Cuale. One sits on the patio alongside the refreshing, clear river. I’ve seen iguanas, herons, terns, humming birds and other wildlife. But what really steals the show is the music.
