ZIGF 2015: Let´s throw a party on the beach!

Last year we raised 10,000 dollars in 2 weeks on Kickstarter! 73 big-hearted backers were our heroes and were the real deciding factor in keeping our festival alive in Zihuatanejo! Yea! Thanks to them and the support of our incredible community in Zihua, we are still here and making it happen again in 2015.

The twelfth annual Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival comes back to Zihuatanejo March 6-15, 2015, and we are trying to raise 12,000 dollars to buy airline tickets for our invited international artists. We have 12 days to do it, I think we can. Are you in?

ZIGF 2014 was a big success and we have been working hard these past six months, getting organized and announcing artists much sooner, and launching a bigger and better international promotion campaign. We just launched a beautiful new website overhaul, once again a tremendous undertaking and generous donation by Creative Director Isahrai Azaria. It`s a beautiful promotion tool with lots of information promoting our festival and the destination, including some very exciting hotel discounts for festival goers, so if you have not made your reservations yet check out our Accommodations Partners page for discounts of up to 45% off rack rates! You can also check out the artist archives, listen to some music, take a look at our history, our big ideas and our financial statements. If you´d like to get more involved with us, there are many ways you can. So go visit our website and click around, it makes us look very good indeed and helps further our mission of tourism, economic and cultural development, and fun (lots of FUN!) www.zihuafest.info

We are now in the midst of our 2015 Kickstarter fund raising campaign. We have 12 days to raise about 12,000 dollars and as usual, we need all the help we can get! So, Please help us spread the word and bring some new friends to Zih for a week of live music in paradise!

We are offering all Platinum Passes and the popular Founders Club memberships at 10% discounts through the campaign, as well as fun perks! We hope you´ll check it out and find a perk that works for you.

We have a wonderful festival planned for March with bigger and better offerings, including 22 international artists, expanded activities including workshops and extra days, as well as the usual offerings of beach concerts, gala events, and free to the public events. A sample schedule is posted on the website and the full schedule with artists will be posted soon.

I hope you all are as excited as I am about the new year and I hope to see you all in March in beautiful Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo for our 12th annual Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival!

Thanks for all of your help and support! We´ve done this 11 times already, let`s do it again Zihuatanejo!
