96 years young! Rocky Point Weekend Rundown

¡Feliz aniversario a Puerto Peñasco! We’ve hit that part of the summer – right after 4th of July and just before schools start back up again in AZ (really, late July – are you kidding?) Family vacation time is in full swing, particularly weekends, and there is still plenty of live music, good food, sun […]

Music! Memorial Warm Up – Weekend Rundown

Rocky Point has always attracted musicians and bands from near and far to grace our shores. In relatively more recent years, the local music scene has burst across a growing number of stages and new venues around town.  In this lead up to Memorial Day weekend, it’s the perfect time to catch local musicians in […]

5 de mayo – Weekend Rundown

As avid travelers and aficionados of all things Mexico, it’s worth remembering 5 de mayo celebrations commemorate the 1862 Battle of Puebla when the Mexican army defeated the French in Puebla de Zaragoza.  With all the hoopla on the northern side of the border, some may mistake 5 de mayo for Mexico’s Independence Day, yet […]

Rocky Point Holiday Rundown

Lace up your shoes and loosen your belt, the Lupe-Reyes marathon is upon us. The period from Dec. 12th (Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe  “Lupe”) through January 6th (Día de los Tres Reyes Magos – Three Kings “Reyes), is marked with festive fiestas, tamales, ponche, posole, and posadas.  This year, the City has teamed […]

Novvrooomber Rocky Point Rundown

¡Noviembre! We are in that small stretch between Halloween fiestas along with Day of the Dead commemorations, before we round the corner toward the Rocky Point Rally (this year Nov. 11 – 14).  Yet, this weekend continues to rock…rock ‘n roll to be exact. The Black Moods, who have played across local venues for nearly […]

May Rocky Point Rundown!

My, oh my, it’s May! The days are sunny, the sea breeze is inviting, and the water is getting warm. It has been an active Spring in Rocky Point, and we’re just gearing up as the Summer nears. The first weekend of May welcomed back hobie cats, more live music, plus golf and volleyball tournaments […]

April Adventure! Rocky Point Rundown

April showers bring what…? Better yet, April sunshine brings busy weekends and more activity to town…oh, did we mention music?  April’s South of the Border songwriter fest, additional solo shows by Roger Clyne, and a growing local music scene are raising the curtain on even more events as we ease toward summer. Currently, health protocols […]

Spring is in the air! Rocky Point Rundown!

¡Ya llegó la primavera! The weather is warming up, beaches are beckoning, and Puerto Peñasco is indeed open.  Though we are barely dabbing our toes into Spring, as we anxiously plan for Summer don’t forget tickets for this year’s Circus Mexicus of Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers go on sale today – March 20th! We’ve […]

Lucky! Rocky Point Rundown!

Perhaps it’s a nod to St. Patrick Day coming up, but the state of Sonora has achieved green status on Mexico’s health alert map!  We’ve come quite a way since exactly one year ago, when everything started shutting down during the early days of the pandemic. Yet, here we are! Beaches are open and, in […]

A whale of a time! Rocky Point Rundown!

Now that we’ve got a few three-day weekends under our belt for 2021, we look ahead to tentative plans for the Spring, and beyond, in Rocky Point! We’re happy to say our weekly newsletter will go out on Sundays so there’s plenty of time to plan for the upcoming weekend, as well as dates ahead.  […]

Deck the palms! Rocky Point Weekend Rundown

On the week before Christmas, Rocky Point gave to us: early whale sightings, spectacular sunsets, meteor showers, several holiday gift drives, ornament decorating, wine nights, Christmas and New Year’s dinner reservations, and a Mermaid’s Market at Shrimp Plaza…all socially distanced and masked to the gills. We invite you to join in the holiday season by […]

Keeping the holiday spirit – Rocky Point Weekend Rundown

Can you hear that?  It’s just some of the traditions that would normally be ringing out across the city this time of year: Peregrinaciones (processions/pilgrimages for Virgen de Guadalupe). Posadas (Holiday parties). Piñatas. Ponche.  Still, there’s plenty of holiday spirit around as we count down the rest of 2020, so let’s get to it. Whether […]

December. 2020. We are just as much in awe as you are in that: 1, it’s already December and 2, how long this year has been! We’re almost rounding the corner on 2020 to head into 2021 with high hopes, clean hands, and navidad masks. Whether you find yourself in Rocky Point, or catching up […]

Giving Thanks 2020. Rocky Point Weekend Rundown

The holiday season is upon us, as irregular as it may be.  Large gatherings have been swapped for intimate dinners with a handful of family and friends; traditional seasonal “posadas” (holiday parties) are traded out for Secret Santa exchanges and spirited toasts over Zoom. Still, there’s ways to help out around the community for this […]
