Patron Saint Festivities of San Juan Cosala - 2025
Every year in Chapala, thousands gather to honor the Virgin of Zapopan, celebrating a tradition that began in 1955 to ask for rain for Lake Chapala.
In 2025, the 70th anniversary was marked with a colorful procession on July 13, featuring pre-Hispanic dances with feathered costumes and the rhythmic sounds of drums, along with a Mass led by the Cardinal that drew over 20,000 people.
The event continued with blessings on the lake and visits to nearby islands, reflecting a deep act of faith, cultural pride, and community unity that brings generations together to share hope and gratitude.
