A transportation advocacy NGO, Frente Unido de Colectivos, has launched a campaign demanding that the metro area’s fifth Light Train (Tren Ligero) line extend all the way to Chapala, rather than ending at the city’s airport or the El Salto industrial zone.

Chapala-area activists are already voicing strong opposition to Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro’s March 31 announcement that he is considering the construction of a second aqueduct from Lake Chapala to supply the increasingly water-hungry Guadalajara metropolitan area (ZMG).

Lakeside country musician and former cattleman Flip Nicholson attended the final event of the 4th Congreso de las Estrellas cattle show on Sunday, March 23, where he met with Top Judge Harry Emslie (pictured in kilt behind the bull), a Scottish cattleman.

The next event in the Lake Chapala Society (LCS) 2025 tribute to Neill James will focus on topics dear to her heart: literacy and youth development.

ChapalaWellnes.com is a new website that allows you to find all the natural wellness products and practitioners that operate in the Lakeside area. 

Three days of music, dance, theater and puppetry will be incorporated in the Festival de Culturas Vivas de la Ribera, running April 4, 5 and 6 at venues in Jocotepec, Chapala and Ajijic.
