Bucerias: The Fiesta Of Our Lady of Peace
A reminder to those who are interested, the festival of Our Lady of Peace, the patron of our local Catholic Church is just gearing up. It will run for about 10 days, culminating on January 28th with the blessing of the boats which happens around 12:00 noon central time. The nearby restaurants are usually jammed so reservations are necessary for a good seat. Adrianos is the the place to be for a view of the boats. There is always plenty of standing room on the beach and on the plaza. The festival culminates in the evening at around 11:00 pm central time with the lighting of the castillo, a three story tower filled with fireworks. An event not to be missed. Unfortunately, I will be in Oaxaca this year...
We visit each November, and stay at one of the all-inclusive hotels that book pretty inexpensive. We came into Bucerias this time for Mass and then some shopping at the market place. I picked up a bulletin, but can't find it! Could you please tell me the name of the Catholic Church there right in town? Is it Lady of Peace?? Thanking you in advance....
