Mardi Gras madness takes Ajijic by storm Tuesday, February 12 as the townsfolk let off steam in the last blast of frivolity before the start of Lent.
A full day of rowdy festivity begins with the Desfile de Carnaval, a spectacular parade featuring gaily decorated floats, costumed revelers, marching bands and charro equestrians. The line-up forms at the corner Calle Revolucion and Constitucion around 10 a.m., heading out for a straight run across town to Seis Esquinas, Ocampo at Alvaro Obregon, then doubling back towards the plaza via Hidalgo.
