Cloud 9 Adventures is proud to announce a very intimate four night run with Widespread Panic in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Enjoy the luxury of an all inclusive resort and see your favorite band at the same time all within steps of your own room! By day, relax at the pool, swim in the ocean, hang out with your friends and enjoy the culture of the Riviera Maya. By night, the stage is set right on the beach with waves crashing alongside and the moon rising on the horizon as your favorite band takes the stage for four nights. Bars will be set up in the sand so you don't miss a note! The only people in attendance at these shows will be the ones who are booked at the resort and the event is limited to 2000 fans. Be one of the lucky few!

Check in with the excursion tour operators in the lobby of the resort if you want someone to take you out to explore the region!

Leaving a Positive Legacy

 

Positive Legacy is the non-profit arm of Cloud 9 Adventures. The mission of this 501 (c)(3) charity organization is to provide meaningful opportunities for music fans and Artists to become active participants in reducing the environmental impact of the events we participate in, and to do something positive for the communities we visit.

 

 

 
SUPPLY DRIVE for LOCAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS – The schools in the nearby village of Puerto Morelos are poorly funded and have many needs, basic school supplies included.  We’re focusing on collecting art supplies, first aid supplies and children’s books (in Spanish and English).  Please consider tucking some in your bag.  Computers are especially needed, if you have an old laptop that you could spare, please contact us at www.positivelegacy.com and we’ll make arrangements to have it shipped to us for refurbishment prior to donation.  The value of your donations are tax deductible!
 
OFFSET YOUR CARBON – Did you know that when you offset your carbon for your personal travel to/from Mexico you are supporting a tree nursery in Haiti ?  Panic en la Playa guests can make a small donation ($10-$20 depending on where you traveled from) and Trees, Water & People will use those funds to support a tree nursery in Haiti . You can offset now by calling the Cloud 9 travel department at 561-368-8922 or at the Positive Legacy Headquarters during the Event.
 
SCHOOLYARD "ADOPT-A-TREE" PROJECT-  Several trees in the schoolyard, which provide needed shade and beauty, at the David Alfonso Sequero Primary School in the nearby village of Puerto Morelos have died over the past year and the school lacks the budget to replace them. That's where you come in! A limited number of Panic en la Playa guests will be able to "adopt a tree" and join Positive Legacy in working with a local arborist to actually plant the new trees and tour the school on Thursday afternoon. This will be a unique experience and an opportunity to be of real service while on holiday. The cost of a tree is $50; but, a donation is not required.  Reservations can be made at Positive Legacy Headquarters.

POSITIVE LEGACY CHARITY AUCTION – An easy yet important way for cruisers to support Positive Legacy is to bid on an item in our charity auction on Friday (closing at 6:30pm) in Positive Legacy HQ.

 

Greening Panic en la Playa

Having a music festival at a resort where all food and beverage containers are reusable, all guests stay on the property, and there is minimal waste throughout the course of the event sets the bar for sustainability.
