Northern Lights Festival Ajijic Mexico

For 20 years, the picturesque fishing village of Ajijic has been host to one of the most important and prestigious festivals in Mexico: The Northern Lights Music Festival, with some of the most talented artists from around the world coming together for musical inspiration, camaraderie and to experience the incredible natural beauty of the location.

A significant part of this event is our support of the development of young, upcoming Mexican musicians to whom we offer private instruction, public masterclasses, and scholarships so they may continue their musical studies. By doing so, we aim to increase the appreciation of classical music among young people and enhance their musical abilities.

The first Festival, held in 2003, was greeted with rave reviews and sold-out theatres. Since then, it has become the most anticipated cultural event in the Lake Chapala area and has garnered a reputation for excellence in Guadalajara as well.

The success of the February event enabled us to create our international summer music academy, the Festival del Lago.
