Auction Items at the De Colores 3rd Annual Dinner, Dance and Auction

There’s still time to grab your tickets for Puerto Vallarta Men’s Chorus 3rd Annual DE COLORES Dinner, Dance and Auction at Oscar’s Restaurant this coming Saturday, with doors opening at 6:00 for cocktails in the seaside garden ahead of the rest of the night’s fun. Click here for tickets and more information.

This year’s event is bigger than ever, and the live and silent auctions are full of incredible experiences and items—from trips, tours, and tacos—to baubles, beaded shawls and beachside trips (both around Banderas Bay and abroad) and something to bang—a Grand Piano—to dinners and drinks, we’ve got it.

Come find your friends and make some new ones. And for the auction, bring some bucks to buy your things provided by your PV favorites, from A(ntiques) to Z(ebras)!

Our thanks go to our nearly 200 donors whose generosity have already made us think we’re going to be able to keep reaching “Higher and Higher”, bringing the theme of our most recent Winter Concert to life!
