Regata de Globos - 2025
Every September, the Regata de Globos fills the skies of Ajijic with color and wonder. This beloved annual festival brings together families, artists, and community groups who launch vibrant, handmade paper balloons—known as globos de cantoya—from the Campo Cruz Azul.
From early afternoon, crowds gather with cameras in hand, shaded by sun hats and buzzing with excitement. The atmosphere is electric, as people eagerly await the magical moment when the globos rise—some gracefully soaring into the sky, while others catch fire or collapse mid-air, sparking laughter and cheers from onlookers.
The event is a joyful blend of creativity, tradition, and spontaneity. Whether a balloon flies high or fizzles out, each launch becomes part of an unforgettable communal experience that celebrates Ajijic’s artistic spirit and sense of togetherness.
