Mazatlan to Host its 17th Motorcycle Week in April

As Mazatlán prepares to host its 17th Annual Motorcycle Week, motorcycle fans across Mexico and the Americas are gearing up for five days of high-octane fun and adventure across Mexico’s Pacific Coast. The event, which will take place April 11-15, will feature a motorcycle parade as well as beach parties, live concerts by 29 different bands, stunt exhibitions, drag races, custom bike competitions, and free contests and giveaways.

The Great Parade, a 16-mile ride along Mazatlán’s oceanfront, is the week’s main event. Drivers will enjoy scenic costal views and warm sea breezes before reaching the finish line. In addition to the parade, attendees will be able to explore the region’s natural wonders and rich culture through Regional Rides to a number of colonial towns including La Noria, Quelite, Cópala, Cósala, San Ignacio, Rosario and Ceuta. These picturesque villages offer panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the fertile Sierra Madre foothills, and numerous historic sites and churches.

Mazatlán, with a population of nearly 600,000, is Mexico’s second largest costal city and is internationally renowned for its sport-fishing. Other touristic attractions in Mazatlán include the Angel Peralta Theater, Archeological Museum, Republic Plaza, Ocean Museum, Botanic Garden, San Jose Chapel and the world’s second-tallest lighthouse.
