The largest, longest running (16 consecutive years)—and, arguably, the most fun—Día de la Santa Cruz celebration here in Puerto Peñasco is the one held on the next street north behind the Fifth Avenue shops, also known as the Cholla Mall shops, and other endearing names, called Barrio or Colonia Obrera. Their festivity attracts 300 to 500 attendees each of the two nights from all over the city because it’s so popular…
If timing is everything, then Kip and Debbie Evans have it all with their new Rocky Point Wine Shoppe and Concierge with an outside entrance on the east side of the Sonoran Spa lobby.

The fact that they regularly serve celebrities, high government officials and royalty from around the world, has given them the widest range of service and shopping experience as possible in the industry.
You’ve probably seen at least one API photo coverage of those recent rad rages called Color Runs (or Toma Color in Spanish) where hundreds of runners get doused in puffs of brightly colored, harmless, powder as they run or walk or dance past stations set up for that specific purpose, on their way through a 5k course. They are usually held to raise money for a charitable cause. Popular in the U.S. for the last couple of years, they’ve now extended to most of the world including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.
Recently, a group of friends, all young business entrepreneurs here in Puerto Peñasco, put their altruistic heads together for a way to help expedite final stages of the DIF Hemodialysis Center project headed by First Lady Rafaela Félix de Figueroa.

They went with the Toma Color concept since it is catching on so fast throughout the Latin American countries. This creative group could not have made a better decision.
As have most of Roger’s goals, his dream of having a cantina in which to hang out and play his inimitable brand of rock and roll has come to fruition with the recent acquisition of The Hut in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico also known as Rocky Point by the multitudes of Americans, mostly Arizonans who claim its golden sandy beaches as their own.
When Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers come to Rocky Point in January, they come to jam! That’s what we’ve come to expect and that’s exactly what they deliver—and then some! This year’s January Jam of two nights held over the weekend of January 24th and 25th was a bit beyond exceptional up to and including the weather.

There are still a limited number of seats available on a first come, first served basis.
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers have created a January tradition in Rocky Point that started in 2008 when they played some new songs for a small crowd of their loyal fans at JJ’s Cantina in Cholla Bay.
Each year since, more and more fans have shown up for what is now more like a “mini” Circus Mexicus as this gang of pure rock ‘n’ rollers bring a variety of friends with more new songs and entertainment in two nights at two venues: The Hut (formerly Chango’s); and JJ’s Cantina. RCPM appear both nights—hey, it IS a Jam, right?
Our long awaited cruise port construction is underway, which means the Proverbial Clock has started ticking on the time line for completing infrastructure required to handle the economic impact of what will amount to a burst, although a continuous one, a predictable one, of tourism from this uniquely distinct cruise segment.
As they’ve done every Christmas holiday season since the early 2000’s, the non-profit group of incredibly generous volunteer families has put their hearts and souls into building complete homes in Puerto Peñasco and presenting them to deserving families selected from applications by needy familial enclaves who heretofore lived in totally impoverished shanties making the best
This is going to be another one of those “Don’t Miss This!” weekends in our little slice of paradise by the sea as Roger Clyne and his Peacemakers converge on their favorite third world cantina (Patio Stage at JJ’s Cantina in Cholla Bay) to jam for their loyal fans, a January tradition since ’08…
