SUMMARY:Balloon Regatta – Saturday before September 15
DESCRIPTION:The Balloon Regatta\, held the Saturday before September 15\, is one of Ajijic’s most spectacular events.

Some designs are modest and small\, while others reach over ten meters high\, featuring geometric patterns\, characters\, flowers\, or patriotic symbols. At the open field\, families spread out blankets and umbrellas to watch each launch. The process is exciting and risky: some balloons gracefully rise into the sky and earn cheers and applause; others catch fire or collapse\, provoking good-natured laughter. Food stands\, live music\, crafts\, and plenty of local families sharing with visitors create a vibrant\, friendly atmosphere. Stay at Hotel Casa Blanca Ajijic and enjoy the Balloon Regatta with the comfort of being just minutes away. \nShare

SUMMARY:Live Stations of the Cross – Good Friday
