“I had a surreal, synchronicity-filled experience at Bar El Camaleón in Ajijic—one of those moments you’ll remember for the rest of your life, maybe even one that flashes before your eyes when you die,” wrote Alejandro Wagner on his Facebook page last Friday.

The 14th edition of Thrill the World Ajijic, held October 26 at the waterfront Malecón, brought out dozens of zombies, witches and warlocks and a large audience for this year’s ghoulish charity fun-raiser benefiting Rotary Club of Ajijic.

Tickets are still available for the Lakeside Garden Guild’s 2024 Floral Art and Design Show, Saturday, November 16, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Privada Revolución 1 in Upper Ajijic, hosted on the beautiful estate of Jack Talerico and Justo Ramirez, featuring gardens adorned with stunning floral arrangements.

Veterans organizations in the Lakeside area gathered on Monday, November 11, to pay tribute to members of the armed forces who lost their lives in combat.

Next week’s kickoff of festivities in honor of Saint Andrew the Apostle, Ajijic’s spiritual patron, marks the beginning of an extended celebration that runs through the end of the month.

“It’s pitiful and a dangerous situation for Mexico,” said lakeside resident Jayne Morton, reacting to Donald Trump’s election as the 47th president of the United States.

Platoons of local students, athletes and Charro equestrians will take over the main streets of Chapala, Ajijic and Jocotepec on the morning of Monday, November 18 for action-packed parades commemorating the anniversary of the 1910 outbreak of the Mexican Revolution.

Chapala has been selected to host the closing event of the statewide 4th International Chile en Nogada Festival, scheduled for Saturday, November 9, at the scenic waterfront Malecón.
