In Ajijic, the celebrations for Mother's Day include games & contests, such as moms wrangling heifers, during a popular family afternoon at the rodeo.
Mother’s Day, perhaps unsurprisingly, is one of the biggest celebrations of the year in Ajijic, Mexico.
More than 1,000 people show up to the Mother’s Day event in Ajijic’s lienzo charro for a fun-filled, family afternoon that includes moms wrestling heifers, competing in drinking games and dancing on a pole.
Cash and other prizes are given out, so the competition between moms during the heifer wrestling is real: the object is for a team to restrain the animal long enough to take off a bandanna that’s wrapped around its head.
