If you’ve ever thought, “What would happen if live music, beach sunsets, great food, and a little bit of wild coastal magic all collided in one weekend?”… well, someone already figured it out.
It’s called Night of the Iguana in Mayto, and it’s coming back April 5th and 6th, 2026.
And if you’ve never been, here’s the short version: imagine a two-day beachfront music festival where artists from across Puerto Vallarta and beyond perform under the stars, the ocean is your backdrop, dinner is included, and the vibe is somewhere between soulful concert and beachside family reunion.
Yeah. It’s that kind of weekend.
What Is Night of the Iguana?
Night of the Iguana is a two-night live music festival in Mayto, Mexico, featuring an incredible lineup of singers, musicians, and performers from Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding region.
Hosted by La Catrina Cantina, this event blends live music, beach culture, community, and unforgettable sunsets into one unique coastal experience.
Over the course of two days, guests will enjoy
Live performances from a diverse lineup of artists
Two nights of dinner included with event tickets
Optional transportation from Puerto Vallarta
Beachfront hotels and camping options
Yoga, meditation, and cacao ceremonies
A fun Easter Bonnet contest
A community atmosphere that feels more like a retreat than a concert
It’s not just a music event.
It’s a weekend escape.

Why This Festival Is So Special
There are bigger festivals.
There are louder festivals.
But there aren’t many quite like this.
Night of the Iguana is small enough to feel personal, big enough to bring serious talent, and set in one of the most beautiful beach locations on the Pacific coast.
Where else can you spend a weekend listening to incredible live music, eating dinner by the ocean, practicing yoga at sunrise, and watching the sun drop into the sea with a drink in your hand?
Exactly.
TLDR
Night of the Iguana returns to Mayto April 5–6, 2026 with two nights of live music, dinner, beach activities, and a stacked artist lineup. Early bird tickets are $2,500 pesos until March 1, then $3,000 pesos. Bus transportation from Puerto Vallarta is available for $800 pesos round trip, and guests must reserve their own accommodations. Follow the official Facebook page for updates and prepare for one unforgettable beach weekend.
