Lakeside residents hankering for more hoopla after this weekend’s Mexican Independence festivities will find what they’re looking for in San Antonio Tlayacapan. In keeping with local custom, the town has slated its patriotic partying a week later than usual.
The celebration begins Saturday, September 22, with a typical village fair on the central square kicking into action at 9 p.m., with an early Grito ceremony set for 10 p.m. and a live show with music for all tastes to follow. The program will wrap up around midnight to assure a safe, wholesome family environment for all.
The Independence parade will be held Sunday, September 23, heading out from the sports complex on the west side of town at 10 a.m. The route winds through town along Calles Ramon Corona, Jesus Garcia, La Bandera and San Jose before turning back towards the plaza where traditional fun and games will continue throughout the day.
