The Taste of Playa – Fun for the Whole Family

Ula Gula serves it up

The Taste of Playa Executive Committee has announced the Fourth Annual Taste of Playa Food Festival, to be held in Playa del Carmen’s Parque Fundadores on November 18, 2012 from 3 pm to 9 pm.   Vimex Vacation Rentals is thrilled to be a sponsor of this year’s event.

Over 7,500 guests attended the 2011 "TOP"

International culinary festivals are common throughout the world, with each city showcasing the local specialties for which they’re best known.  Playa del Carmen’s multicultural community boasts diversity, inventiveness, and international tastes that have rightfully made this area a top tourist destination for foodies of all ages.  Taste of Playa provides a delicious opportunity for local businesses to showcase the expertise and creativity of their talented chefs.

The Taste of Playa began in 2009 with 25 participants and around 3,500 visitors.  This early success led to wide community and government support and, as a result has grown to include 40 participants from restaurants along the Riviera Maya and is now enjoyed by over 7,500 visitors.

Participating restaurants will offer their signature samples, with “Playa Pesos” for sale for 10 pesos per ticket.  Samples will cost between 1 and 3 tickets—this system invites tourists and locals alike to sample culinary creations they might otherwise never have the opportunity to enjoy.

VIP passes get you in the door early

A limited number of VIP passes are available for those who wish to attend Taste of Playa 2012 early, to miss the crowds.  All VIP pass holders are entitled to enter the event one hour early, access to the VIP seating area, 20 Playa Pesos , and VIP access bracelet and badge.  VIP passes  cost only 40 usd, and are only available online via the Taste of Playa website . 

Sunbrellas are great attire for late November

November is an excellent time to travel to Playa del Carmen—not only will you get to enjoy this world-class event, but it’s not quite as hot as in the summer, the threat of hurricane season is virtually over, and as it’s still considered low season, the rates are lower than at other times of year.  Contact us at Vimex Vacation Rentals to reserve your vacation home today.
