Ajijic Carnival Parade
On February 17, Ajijic didn’t just host a Carnival parade—it became Carnival: a town-wide burst of laughter, music, and color where neighbors, families, and visitors filled the cobblestone streets with the kind of joy you can feel in your chest.
Costumes and masks turned every corner into a surprise, the Sayacas brought that mischievous “anything can happen” spirit, and the crowd moved as one—cheering, dancing, and celebrating like the whole village was a single happy heartbeat.
In Ajijic, this isn’t just a party—it’s a shared moment of pride and pure, contagious happiness.
