New Year’s Parade - 2025
The New Year’s Parade in Ajijic is a very special celebration for the town. Every year, it brings together locals and visitors to welcome the new year with music, costumes, colorful floats, and plenty of good humor.
The parade moves through the main streets and the town plaza, where people of all ages join in, applaud, and enjoy the atmosphere. Afterward, the celebration continues in the Guadalupe neighborhood with food, music, and a traditional soccer match. It’s not just an event to watch—it’s a tradition meant to be experienced together as a community.
