Americans to celebrate the 4th of July in Vallarta

This Monday, July 4th, American tourists and the country’s expatriate community celebrate the anniversary of the United States’ independence with lunches and dinners planned in hotels, restaurants, and various gathering places including condominiums and beach clubs.

The ceremony serves as a draw for tourists. The long weekend encouraged travel from several northern neighboring cities to this tourist location, which is a favorite of those who live in states on the east coast of the United States, as the holiday fell on Monday in the United States.

This past weekend, there was a lot of activity at Puerto Vallarta’s international airport due to the arrival of hundreds of North Americans who used the “bridge” to celebrate their independence.

According to officials of the major airlines like American Airlines, United, Alaska and Southwest, flights from California, Texas, Washington, Oregon, as well as Arizona and Colorado, to name the key tourist markets of this region in the United States, attained more than 90% occupancy.

Several restaurants are giving special menus and decorations in the American flag’s colors of blue and red for customers from that nation who are visiting or staying in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay on this Monday, July 4.

Meat cuts in various modalities, barbecue ribs, and of course hamburgers, wings, and pizza—dishes that are popular among Americans—as well as beers and sparkling wine for the occasion are typically on the menus this Monday. Even fireworks are set off inside some hotels.

The 13 colonies that Englishmen founded in America that later decided to secede from the British throne and establish a new country are where the United States got its freedom from them. They declared their independence on July 4, 1776.

Starting out small, this new country would expand by annexing western territories, isolating the indigenous populations, and purchasing additional territories from European nations. Eventually, it would become one of the world’s major powers with a firm hold on the economic, political, and cultural spheres on the entire planet.

More than two million Americans vacation in Puerto Vallarta each year.

Although specific numbers are not available, it is estimated that more than 20,000 Americans live in this region, making Puerto Vallarta, along with San Miguel de Allende and the Chapala Riviera, one of the three locations with the highest concentration of Americans living abroad. On this Fourth of July, many congratulations to the American community.
