Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico - On December 3, from 4-7 pm, the Marina Nuevo Vallarta Malecón will be the location of the "4th Taste of Nuevo Vallarta and 16th Annual Chili Cook-off," hosted by the Vallarta Yacht Club.

Last year, over 500 people attended this fun-filled event, where they had the opportunity to taste the wonderful sample dishes provided by participating restaurants and also the fantastic chili made by professional and non-professional contributors.

This year, attendees may purchase sample tickets for $30 pesos. Each ticket will allow a "sample" of chili or any of the other type of food offered. Attendees may also use tickets to purchase bottled water, soda, beer, wine and Margaritas. Music will be provided.

Net proceeds will go to charity, evenly split between the International Friendship Club's Cleft Palate Program and the Vallarta Navy League's Toys for Tots.

Parking will be available at Marina Nuevo Vallarta and free water taxis will be available from the Vallarta Yacht Club and Paradise Village.

Exhibitors are encouraged to sign up now. Last year we had over 40 booths, we hope to have more this year. This is one of the first opportunities of the season to expose your restaurant to hundreds of tourists and local residents.
