All Cruisers have been invited to the 1st Baja International Community Mega Mixer. What ?!?!
This event is a conscious combined effort by the City of Ensenada, BC State and City Tourism and the international residents of Baja. The fact is, we do not know each other from one side of Baja to the other. This is a good opportunity to network among ourselves..... Mexican Authorities and public opinion are now turning attention to us and finally recognizing that "We are the best possible marketing tool" simply because we live here full time and know the truth about the safety of Baja California, Mexico.

The goal is to show Baja in a positive image and not in the negative way it has been portrayed.. through both the Canadian and US press. Please come and enjoy the mixer and get to know more of our Baja and our international residents. Your support and participation is greatly appreciated! Go forth and Spread the Word! 


Where???  Ex Hotel Riviera Pacifico in the Cathedral Room
March 15th - 12 noon to 3 p.m..


Directions - MAP

This an open event, there isn't a charge,
