Ajijic’s innovative Night of the Dead festival rated as a rousing success, with hundreds turning out to watch the spooky torch-light parade, wander the plaza for a peek at traditional memorial altars and marvel at a block-long colored sawdust carpet artfully laid out on Calle Parroquia.
Congratulations to all those who painted their faces creatively and dressed appropriately for the spine-tingling spectacle.
(Right) A colorful tribute to the late-great Morley Eager was among the traditional memorial altar displays featured at Ajijic’s Night of the Dead festival. The innovative celebration was qualified as a huge success by the huge crowd of locals and expats who turned out to watch the parade and catch the evening of colorful action going on at the village plaza.
Grupo Pro Ajijic extends heart-felt thanks to all participants and grateful acknowledgment to event patrons Helaine and Marvin Harthcock, Mary Roberts, Jesus Ruvalcaba, Linda Samuels and the Lake Chapala Society for their generous contributions.
