mexart Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I see that Easter 2017 is in the exact middle of April. Anyone know when the Chapala Carnival is slated to happen as due to unacceptable noise I want to be out of town for those 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Dates in Chapala are Jan 28, 2017-Feb 7, 2017 I guess I didn't look too hard the first time - http://www.accesslakechapala.com/events/carnival-chapala-2015/ Jan 28, 2017-Feb 7, 2017 http://www.cuandopasa.com/index.php?v=v73767c Feb 17-28, 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajijicbound Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Mardi gras is Feb 28' 2017 so the chapala events will be the dates leading up to this. Easter is April 16. WideSky's dates are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 32 minutes ago, WideSky said: Dates in Chapala are Jan 28, 2017-Feb 7, 2017 Sure about that? Reason I question it is that normally Chapala Carnival ends on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) the day before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. In looking at old calendars, the Chapala Carnival coincided with this schedule, ending the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday in 2015 and 2016. In 2017, Ash Wednesday is March 1st, putting Mardi Gras on Tuesday, Feb. 28th. edit: looks like I posted simultaneously with AjijicBound's post above.

Xena Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 The Carnaval Chapala Facebook page lists multiple times: "Chapala Carnival 2017 from 17 to 28 February." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
