Expats in Vallarta is a group of expats from different countries, mostly from the U.S. and Canada, living in the Puerto Vallarta area.  The purpose of the group is informal fellowship and assistance for expat residents or visitors living, working or investing around Vallarta or considering it.  There is no membership fee or requirement; pay only for what you consume or use.

The first event of Expats in Vallarta was a Happy Hour held  July, 2009, at Cheeky Monkey on the Malecon with over 65 people attending in spite of difficult parking that night due to construction for a concert.  Everyone had a great time and met lots of “new friends.”

Our group continues to grow each month.   Several times we have had over 100 people attending.  It has been a wonderful way to meet new “friends” and get re-acquainted with old friends.  We are excited for this winter and all the returning Ex Pats and the new ones that are moving or looking at the area for the season that will be attending.  

Drop-Ins Are Welcome!

Related Expat  events to go beyond the Happy Hours with fun, laughter and learning in smaller groups throughout the month will be scheduled when desired by the members. 

  Be sure to check our Events Calendar to see where we are planning our next event at.

Organizers Sara Wise and Tish Holloway are looking forward to tapping the willing creativity and experience of local expats for assistance in organizing these and other social opportunities for the group.
