Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The Banderas Bay region has a unique international ambience where foreign residents and Mexican locals have developed a very special and seldom-found cultural acceptance. Traditional Mexican festivals and holidays blend in with Saint Patrick's Day celebrations, Canada Day and Fourth of July picnics, which makes everyone feel "at home."

So, if you find yourself in Puerto Vallarta on the USA's Independence Day, head over to Langostinos on Los Muertos Beach for an All-American 4th of July celebration - in Mexico!

What could be more American than celebrating the 4th of July with a barbecue at the beach? Come and celebrate the 241st birthday of the United States on Tuesday, July 4, from 6-9 pm at Langostinos.

Get your fill at the all-you-can-eat buffet bursting with hamburgers, turkey burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, watermelon and brownies, while enjoying margaritas, soft drinks, a raffle for great prizes, fun and games - plus live music by one of PV's hottest bands, Sylvie and The Zippers.

This Red, White and Blue event will be hosted by the Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad, but all nationalities and political persuasions are invited to join in the celebration of everyone's favorite summer holiday.

Tickets are just $400 pesos and are now available for purchase at Langostinos, at MailBoxes, Etc. in Old Town, or by contacting me at exkhan(at)usfamily.net.
