Festival Sayulita- 101

Festival Sayulita has just kicked off ticket sales for its 4th year. Festival Sayulita is going to happen February 1-5, 2017 and is always designed to bring us film, spirits, music and the best of Sayulita living! This article will review for you what will happen, ticket levels and how to get involved. For more information or to purchase tickets, please go to the Festival Sayulita website.

Hey, did you know that Festival Sayulita is a non-profit? 
The Festival has been funded with volunteer hours, sponsorships, and the personal investments of the founders & families. We all hope that it will become profitable sooner than later because we really want to build a community creative center, El Centro, to ensure tomorrow’s Sayulita sparkles even more than today. We want to thank all of you who have volunteered, sponsored, bought tickets, attended a movie, been to a pairing dinner, offered information, lent a ladder, told a friend about or if you’ve thought about any of the above– thank you. We think you’ll be in for a real treat this year, we can’t wait to share with you.

Beyond is our theme for 2017…so get ready to go beyond your expectations, go beyond your comfort zone and go beyond your experiences with the Festival this year! Below, please find an overview of the Festival Sayulita Schedule:

We hope that there is a little something for everybody at the Festival and there are several different ticket levels of accommodate your needs. Let’s start with the good stuff-what is free! We want everybody to enjoy so we make sure to include free events. All the Plaza events Wednesday-Friday afternoon are free and all will have live music and activities. During opening ceremonies, artisan spirit vendors will be in the Plaza with free samples; Thursday afternoon please join us for an Art Show and Friday features Children’s Day. All four of our film venues are free and open to the public. Tickets holders, however, get access to seating first. If you don’t have a ticket and want to see a film, feel free to bring a blanket and enjoy!

This year’s ticket levels include VIP and Lujo levels and the Festival will be featuring some a la carte ticketed events. VIP ticket holders have access to a secret premier event and specialty events and seats during the Festival. They also get to attend a pairing dinner, may attend some workshops of their choosing and enter our incredible, private viewing spot and bar during Jungle Live. Lujo tickets, or whole Festival passes, include seats for all films, a pairing dinner, entrance to some workshops and concert entrance. Both VIP and Lujo ticket holders can also gain admission to our closing and awards ceremony on Sunday.

Concert tickets are on sale now! Other specialty event tickets including pairing dinners and workshops will be on sale in January. If you want to ensure to get the dinners and workshops you want, make sure to get your VIP or Lujo ticket before then!

As a reminder, Festival Sayulita depends on volunteers to make it happen. Over the last 4 years, over 100 volunteer positions have been filled by locals and people coming in from all over Mexico, the US and Canada. Our volunteer recruitment and scheduling happens in January so jump on board by sending an email to our volunteer recruitment site on our website!
