gary c. Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 My son and daughter-in-law are coming to town from 10th thu 17th of June. Is that the week's a fiesta in Ajijic? Trying to book them onto a nice hotel without too much noise... just wondering if it's a big celebration week. Can't find anything on events calendar. And if you want to suggest a hotel, please do so. Thought the Monte Coxala would be great ... near us... but reviews are not good. carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Tres Leones or Nueva Posada. Never stayed at either (no reason since I live here!). Probably the best pick would be something near where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 No big fiesta in Ajijic that week. San Antonio's runs from June 4 till June 13. Following from Ajijicnews.com San Antonio’s fiesta concludes June 13 after the traditional 9 days of morning, noon, and night cohetes, masses, prayers, mananitas, processions with native danzantes, with food, drinks, and dancing to the bandas in the evening. Local lore has it that the final fireworks on June 13 bring on the rainy season – and it happened exactly that way last year! Most Patron Saint fiestas have a lovely and dynamic procession before the evening Mass which may be any time from 5 – 7pm. Things quite down for the Mass, and afterwards, there are food, drinks, and dancing to a professional banda in the plaza starting at 8 or 9 and going into the wee hours. A couple days later, the San Juan fiesta starts, and then later concludes on June 24. One really nice thing about these summer fiestas is that the days are much longer, and you can get a great view of the sunset and the lake from the top of the Ferris Wheel, if you are feeling adventurous. If you must select only one day to go to a Patron Saint Fiesta, go on the very last day, as the fiestas start small and end big on the last day.

gary c. Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Those two come up as top 5. They are on my list to check out tomorrow. Just don't want to put them in Ajijic if there are fireworks every 6 hours and lots of music noise until wee hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Not in Ajijic, Fiesta is in San Antonio. Then another one starts in SJC. See previous post and info from Ajijicnews.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary c. Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks for the SJC info. Live there, but somehow I always think it starts on the 16th. We just finished our barrio's very small fiesta which had the nightly and early cohetes... but not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Antonio's starts on June 4, ends on June 13. Fiestas are Feast Days of Catholic calendar. They are always nine days long....they are aka Novenas. They always END on the Saint's Feast Day.

lakeside7 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 What about the Pescador Hotel east of the fish restaurants, a bit out in the boonies , maybe closer to Ajijic where they can walk the Malcon & Plaza etc and enjoy the sights and smells of village life.
