Mexican moms honored with traditional festivities
As Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world on Sunday, May 10, festivities in the Lake Chapala area will crank up in the wee hours when many beloved madres will be roused from their slumber with lively musical serenades.
As day breaks, sky rockets will blast off at local cemeteries, calling folks to services held in remembrance of mothers who have passed on to greener fields. Many will bring floral tributes to place at the graves of departed matriarchs.
Charro party
Ajijic’s Asociación de Charros gets a jump on the holiday with a wild country-style family fiesta on Saturday, May 9, from 4:30 p.m., at the bullring on Calle Revolución.
