Remi Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 What in the world are all the fireworks for---on May 1, I understand, but they went off all day May2 and have been going off on May 3--at first around midnight, then started up again at 3 a.m. What is the occasion? I live in San Juan Cosala but I can hear them going off farther away as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicamysterious Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I know May 1st is Mexico Labor Day. I'm not sure what the other days are about. Perhaps someones wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 For most Mexican holidays, it is the EVE of the holiday when much of the noisiest cohetes are lit, especially at midnight. Today, Monday May 3 is Día de Santa Cruz, hence the noise makers late Sunday. While not a Legal holiday, Día de Santa Cruz is a big deal within the construction sector, which is the livelihood of many locals. While you'll see large crosses at construction sites today everywhere, if you take a walk through the Seis Esquinas neighborhood of Ajijic you will also see many altars outside of people's homes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
