We’re turning back on the lights to help the children with special needs served by Pasitos de Luz!

Illumination V Dinner & Show returns to its luxury beachside venue Shangri-La, Marina Vallarta for its 5th annual on Thursday February 27th, at 6pm.

Expect a dazzling evening to remember under the stars, all for a worthy cause. Once again, this year’s cuisine is catered by the talents of Vatel Club México, a consortium of our region’s top chefs, started by Thierry Blouet (Café des Artistes). The event will be led by Memo Wulff (Barrio Bistro), plus more popular chefs from Vallarta to be confirmed soon.

Steve Elliott returns to light up the stage

Steve Elliot is back by popular demand to provide the evening’s entertainment, following a rousing show at the last Illumination. Steve has performed full-time for over 23 years in Western Canada, the US and, more recently, in Mexico. He is a multi-talented performer whose reportoire includes Evlis Presley, Roy Orbison, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Tom Jones, among others. Steve will be performing another full set of the biggest hits!

Helping kids with disabilities be the best they can be!

Illumination Dinner & Show is benefiting local kids charity Pasitos de Luz, where children with disabilities from all over Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay benefit from 100% free services, including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, special education and nutritional support. This year Pasitos de Luz celebrates 25 years of making a difference in the local community.

This will be an exclusive event for 230 lucky guests.
