Aside from its gorgeous beaches and other breathtaking natural advantages, Los Cabos offers three 
major draws for international visitors: world-class big game sportfishing, abundant championship level golf courses, and bountiful luxurious and pampering spas. All three of these signature attractions will be on prominent display at the 2017 Stars & Stripes Tournament, which pairs competitive fishing and golf with marquee live entertainment and more; and does it for a good cause…since 1997, the organizers have raised over $23 million for youth focused charities.
The 21st edition of the popular tournament and rock star showcase is scheduled to take place June 22–25, with participants billeted in high-end comfort at the elegant seaside Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort.
The real beauty of Stars & Stripes is not merely the charity aspect, but that it offers an unforgettable experience for the entire family. Golf and fishing are of course the big-ticket activities, but there are plenty of choices for those with little interest in ocean view chip shots or reeling in a trophy sized marlin. Try restorative treatments and therapies at the aptly named Eforia Spa, soak up the sun at the exclusive Villa Cielito estate, or simply bask in the glorious experience that is Hilton Los Cabos (where indulgent amenities include infinity pools with swim-up bars, whirlpools, and five acclaimed onsite restaurants.
That said, the golf and fishing are spectacular. The venues have not yet been officially announced for the golf tournament, but one cannot go wrong in Los Cabos, home to three of the top 100 ranked courses in the world, and 11 of the top 50 in Mexico and the Caribbean. The fishing is, if possible, even better. After launching from Chileno Bay, visiting anglers will compete to get their hooks into enormous black, blue and striped marlin (catch and release only), as well as sailfish and swordfish, tuna and dorado.
If multiple activities options are available to guests during the daylight hours, at night the attention is focused on fine dining and theme parties headlined by a fabulous collection of rock n’ roll talent. This year’s special features include Day of the Dead, Studio 54, Pool and Pirate Parties, plus musical performances from Kenny Loggins, Kelly Hansen of Foreigner, Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship, as well as an all-star rock star collective. Shawn Parr, known as “The Ambassador of Country Music” and “The Voice of the Golden Globes,” will preside over the festivities, including the live and silent charity auctions.
