Uses and Traditions of the Rebozo – Sunday before September 15

Uses and Traditions of the Rebozo is a celebration of Ajijic’s cultural identity, where the traditional shawl is presented alongside many of the town’s most beloved customs. The main plaza becomes a living runway where women of all ages parade with both new and heirloom rebozos, children wear traditional outfits, and folkloric dances, mariachis, charros, and symbolic elements from Carnival, Day of the Dead, Guadalupe festivities, and Christmas Posadas all come together. The event reminds everyone that the rebozo is not just an accessory: it’s used to carry babies, to dance, for religious ceremonies, and even during funerals. Grandmothers, mothers, and granddaughters share stories linked to each shawl, while visitors enjoy food, music, and photo opportunities. Stay at Hotel Casa Blanca Ajijic and experience Uses and Traditions of the Rebozo right in the heart of the plaza.
