It’s a highly anticipated tradition that Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers come to town the first weekend in June with thousands of their loyal fans (last year fans came from 32 states and 7 countries) and rock our little slice of paradise by the sea into a musical frenzy. It’s called Circus Mexicus, a rock and roll festival that is four days and nights of non-stop partying, beach soccer, golf, hot dogs and, did we mention Rock and Roll?
When good friends get together for a brainstorming session, something good usually results. With the objective of diversifying some of their investments, four local business leaders recently put their heads together, pooled their talents, expertise and resources to develop a unique dining experience in Puerto Peñasco. The four brains involved belong to Martín Martínez of Terranova Properties, which include two restaurants; Eddie Wharez of fine furniture and interior design fame; Carmen Martens of Sushi Sun Japanese Restaurant fame, and Jorge Bonillas, professor at Cetmar Center for Technological Studies of the Sea. The finished product is Bacanora Grill…
It’s going to be a great weekend with the 4th of July on Friday and the Sonoran Resorts Las Vegas Casino Night on Saturday the 5th—so much so that you may want to consider bringing those family members you’ve been wanting to introduce to Rocky Point for awhile!
The event this year will again be held in the spacious Los Volcanes ballroom on the second floor of the Sonoran Sky. You will enjoy your choice of Black Jack and Roulette all evening to build a stack of chips with which you’ll be able to…
The largest, longest running (16 consecutive years)—and, arguably, the most fun—Día de la Santa Cruz celebration here in Puerto Peñasco is the one held on the next street north behind the Fifth Avenue shops, also known as the Cholla Mall shops, and other endearing names, called Barrio or Colonia Obrera. Their festivity attracts 300 to 500 attendees each of the two nights from all over the city because it’s so popular…
If timing is everything, then Kip and Debbie Evans have it all with their new Rocky Point Wine Shoppe and Concierge with an outside entrance on the east side of the Sonoran Spa lobby.
They bring a very special expertise to our little slice of paradise by the sea: For the last 15 years they have served the private jet owners in Scottsdale Air Park with full catering and personal shopping needs. The fact that they regularly serve celebrities, high government officials and royalty from around the world, has given them the widest range of service and shopping experience as possible in the industry.
You’ve probably seen at least one API photo coverage of those recent rad rages called Color Runs (or Toma Color in Spanish) where hundreds of runners get doused in puffs of brightly colored, harmless, powder as they run or walk or dance past stations set up for that specific purpose, on their way through a 5k course. They are usually held to raise money for a charitable cause. Popular in the U.S. for the last couple of years, they’ve now extended to most of the world including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.
Recently, a group of friends, all young business entrepreneurs here in Puerto Peñasco, put their altruistic heads together for a way to help expedite final stages of the DIF Hemodialysis Center project headed by First Lady Rafaela Félix de Figueroa. They wanted something fun that would appeal to all ages thus maximizing the potential number of participants in the event. They went with the Toma Color concept since it is catching on so fast throughout the Latin American countries. This creative group could not have made a better decision.
As have most of Roger’s goals, his dream of having a cantina in which to hang out and play his inimitable brand of rock and roll has come to fruition with the recent acquisition of The Hut in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico also known as Rocky Point by the multitudes of Americans, mostly Arizonans who claim its golden sandy beaches as their own.
In a classic move to continue their high level of service to owners, guests and visitors, Sonoran Resorts have recruited a wedding and event planning expert who occupies the Concierge office in the Sonoran Sky Luxury Resort Condominium on Sandy Beach here in Puerto Peñasco.
When Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers come to Rocky Point in January, they come to jam! That’s what we’ve come to expect and that’s exactly what they deliver—and then some! This year’s January Jam of two nights held over the weekend of January 24th and 25th was a bit beyond exceptional up to and including the weather. The Jam began with the Friday night show at The Hut (formerly Chango’s) and of course Saturday at JJ’s Cantina in Cholla Bay where…
There are still a limited number of seats available on a first come, first served basis.
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers have created a January tradition in Rocky Point that started in 2008 when they played some new songs for a small crowd of their loyal fans at JJ’s Cantina in Cholla Bay.
Each year since, more and more fans have shown up for what is now more like a “mini” Circus Mexicus as this gang of pure rock ‘n’ rollers bring a variety of friends with more new songs and entertainment in two nights at two venues: The Hut (formerly Chango’s); and JJ’s Cantina. RCPM appear both nights—hey, it IS a Jam, right?
