Thrill-seekers are keeping their fingers crossed for fair weather on Sunday, June 4 to catch the Aero Fest Chapala, the second annual lakeside air show.
Thrills, chills and high adrenaline action are promised at Chapala’s second Aero Fest (air show), on schedule for Sunday, June 6, starting 10 a.m.
Lake Chapala is not known as a prime location for sport fishing but it turns out that its waters are teaming with largemouth bass, enough so that more than 200 zealous anglers are expected to congregate here Friday, May 26 and Saturday, May 27 to compete in the first Torneo Nacional de Pesca de Lobina.
With a focus on protecting the purity of Mexico’s most basic food crop, the first annual Ajijic Corn Festival was celebrated Saturday, May 20, tying into March Against Monsanto events held worldwide that day in opposition to the proliferation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Need some legal advice on a shoestring budget? Trot down to Chapala’s central plaza Saturday, May 20, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., to get in on consultations to be offered free of charge by attorneys affiliated with the Mexican American Bar Association (MABA).
Last year, Mayor Javier Degollado boasted that Chapala stood out as the “Cradle of Mexican Tourism.” Now he proudly claims it ranks as the country’s “Number One Ciudad Inteligente.”
Officials from 13 federal, state and municipal government agencies put on friendly faces to introduce themselves to the public at an open forum held Wednesday, May 17 at the cultural center housed in Chapala’s former town hall building.
Hot-air balloons flown by top pilots from Mexico and Europe will be going up, up and away over Mexico’s largest lake during Chapala en Globo, an extravaganza in the great outdoors scheduled for May 26, 27 and 28 at the Boca Laguna waterski club, located on the outskirts of Santa Cruz de la Soledad.
Chapala officials are admitting that circumstantial evidence points to a low-level government employee as the prime suspect in the fatal poisoning of more than 20 dogs reported in Ajijic since last summer.
