Following a packed Memorial Day Weekend, with numbers from the local Convention and Visitors Bureau pointing to over 35,000 visitors who made their way to our beaches, Puerto Peñasco is not settling into a summer malaise any time soon. Let’s jump to the weekend rundown for a look at what’s coming up.
