Great Food for a Great Cause

There is something truly magical about gathering around the fire. This November 7 & 8, The Grill Festival returns to the Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center for two unforgettable days of world-class BBQ, live culinary competitions, craft mixology, live music and a dedicated kids area.

It is the ultimate win-win: an extraordinary weekend for your plate, and a life-changing gesture for a child. Every VIP ticket purchased on behalf of Pasitos de Luz helps support our kids.

Bring your family and friends and spend the day tasting dishes from more than 150 chefs, with all the food and drinks you want. Every VIP ticket you buy for Pasitos de Luz helps us continue providing essential therapy and care to children with disabilities and their families in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay.

What to Expect

  • World-class BBQ: chef-driven dishes, premium cuts and classic barbecue all in one place.
