A full day of colorful activities, all wrapped around the slogan “Mexico and its roots,” are in store for lakesiders who turn up for the Festival de Charreria on Saturday, December 7 at Ajijic’s Lienzo Charro bullring.
The program put together by Chapala’s tourism and culture offices begins with a horsemen’s parade around Ajijic, starting from the bullring at 10 a.m. to run along Guadalupe Victoria to the central plaza and double back to the starting point via Colon and Constitucion.
Gates at the bullring open at 11 a.m. as a forum for varied happenings. A variety of exhibitions of Mexican equestrian arts start at noon with presentations by two female escaramuza drill teams, Perla de Occidente from Guadalajara and the hometown squad Las Xiriacahuas.
