The fall edition of the Expo Chapala Artesenal (ECA) crafts fair will be held Friday, November 18 through Sunday, November 20 at the esplanade outside the Auditorio de la Ribera in La Floresta.

The Russian State Ballet Mari El was welcomed  Friday, November 11 at the Auditorio de la Ribera with its interpretation of the classic Tchaikovsky suite and ballet, “The Nutcracker.”  This troupe of young dancers is part of the Opera and Ballet Theater Sapaev and an obvious training ground for the more ambitious and polished Bolshoi.

Though it reportedly evolved through several adaptations, “No Clue, The Stage Play” showing at Lakeside Little Theatre from November 5 to 15, seems to have returned to its roots.

The seventh annual Tercer Milenio International Film Festival (FIC-TM) returns to the Lake Chapala region this year with an expanded program of activities that will run from Friday, November 11 through Monday, November 21 at four venues.
