While the official holiday calendar marks the third Monday of November as the date to commemorate the 1910 outbreak of La Revolucion Mexicana, festivities along Lake Chapala’s north shore will span November 19 and 20.
Traditional Revolution Day parades and various sporting contests highlight holiday events scheduled in different communities. The parades showcase squads of school kids winding along central thoroughfares dressed up to impersonate rabble troops, riding on motorized floats that depict historical scenes and political figures of the era, or pausing at designated points to perform synchronized routines and athletic stunts. Marching bands and charro equestrians round out the patriotic cavalcades that will delight spectators with a bounty of colorful “Kodak” moments.
