Children's Day in Ajijic is celebrated with special school events & an afternoon at the lienzo charro.

Mexico has a deep love for children that borders sometimes on reverence.

Children’s Day is observed in many countries on various dates. In Mexico, it’s officially April 30, but Ajijic often celebrates it on a nearby weekend.
